ENABLING OBJECTIVES:

• Explain how to disassemble and reassemble turbine bearing

& thrust bearing.
• State the meaning of corrective maintenance.
• State the necessary prerequisites for the corrective maintenance of turbine
bearing & thrust bearing.

OVERVIEW

• The turbine has three rotors each supported on two main (journal)
bearings.

• Main bearing No. 1 and 2 are multiple tilting pad type with a spherical
bearing shell seating.

• Spherical shell seating compensates for any minor misalignment.

OVERVIEW

• Main bearing Nos. 3 to 6 are spherically seated only.

• This design produces pressure film (of oil) between bearing shell and
journal.
• Turbine set has only one multiple rocking shoe thrust bearing
assembly.

• Rocking shoes self-level/align to rotor thrust collar and assist

lubrication.
