Plain bearing design may be simple or complex. It may amount to picking a bearing from a catalog on the basis of PV factor or may require a sophisticated analysis of lubricant flow. Most slow moving ...

Journal bearing design is complex. It involves optimizing clearances, bearing length, minimum film lubricant, viscosity, flow rate, and inlet slots. Design equations are available, but their solution ...

Significant operating and economic benefits can be realized by replacing a poorly functioning or damaged oil-lubricated turbine guide bearing with a water-lubricated design (Figure 1), as part of a ...

Once construction starts, there’s no going back. A tunnel boring machine (TBM) is not equipped with a reverse gear, so it is imperative that the machine is able to complete its job without suffering ...

Learn how root cause analysis and integrated data prevent hydropower bearing failures, reduce costly downtime, and improve ...

Rolls-Royce has ordered aseismic bearings pedestal demonstrator to incorporate it in its small modular reactor design to make ...

It is not much of an exaggeration to say that the whole wind turbine industry rides on bearings. Wind turbines operate under arduous conditions. The bearings used in them must work reliably and have a ...

Rolls-Royce SMR has contracted Skanska UK to deliver an aseismic bearing pedestal demonstrator for its small modular reactor.
