What is the standard bearing clearance?

[CoraDella]

The standard bearing clearance varies by manufacturer and must be installed and adjusted according to the manufacturer's drawings. Bearing clearance requirements are very strict, directly affecting shaft cooling, lubrication, load-bearing capacity, and vibration. The normal operating temperature of turbine bearings is around 85°C. Relevant information about bearings is as follows: 1. Introduction 1: In turbines, the bearing is one of the key components of the bearing assembly, serving as the contact part between the sliding bearing and the shaft. It is extremely smooth and typically made of wear-resistant materials such as bronze or anti-friction alloys, also known as "bearing liners," shaped like a semi-cylindrical tile. 2. Introduction 2: Its primary functions are to bear the forces applied by the journal, maintain stable oil film, ensure smooth bearing operation, and reduce friction losses. Bearings are divided into axial thrust bearings and radial bearings. Radial bearings support the rotor and rotating parts, while thrust bearings handle axial positioning and thrust forces, making them critical stationary components.
