Thrust Bearing Analysis, Optimization, And Case Histories.
Abstract
Babbitted oil film thrust bearings as used in industrial turbomachinery
are discussed. The majority of the presentation covers tbe
higher performance tilting pad thrust bearings as found in most
critical rotating equipment. Topics covered include types of thrust
bearings, terminology, analysis, and application of thrust bearings.
A discussion of common design options available is presented,
followed by a couple of case histories, used to illustrate the
analysis procedure and subsequent effects of the optimized
redesigns.
