By combining two bore
diameters in one bearing shell

machine housing.
The width of the running sur

groups:
short B/D = 0,5
medium B/D = 0,75
long B/D = 1,0
In each case the ratios B/D

‘) Bearing shells with radial journal pads are available for higher circumferential speeds (details available on request)..

Main Load Direction

The main load direction is
composed of weights and
additional loads (e. g. tooth
forces). Since the latter fre

quently depend on the trans

mitted load, there will be
invariably a change in the
radial load during start
up
and/or when varying the level
of load. In the case of turbo
transmissions the load forces
are usually low compared with
the tooth forces, so that the
final direction of the main load
is quickly determined during
start
up. A check should,
however, be made in the case illustrations. By offsetting the

 The thrust faces can be provided with lubricating grooves
or, in the case of higher loads, with taper land faces.
Type K, same as B, is suitable for rotation in both directions.
Type L should be chosen for left
hand rotation, type R
for right
hand rotation (viewed in the direction of arrow A
on the bearings running surface). The thrust face on the
reverse is correspondingly arranged for the same
Type K Type B direction of rotation.
If the direction of rotation and direction of thrust
change simultaneously, detailed information concerning
the design of the thrust faces should be supplied
(with enquiries and orders).
Types L and R respectively refer to the thrust face viewed
in the direction of arrrow A.
