Large Hydrodynamic Thrust Bearings and Their Application in Hydrogenerators

Abstract

Large hydrodynamic thrust bearings are the bearings which, due to hydrodynamic lubrication, allow large axial load to be transferred from a moving part (shaft) to the stationary part via a thin layer of the lubricant (usually oil), thus providing extremely low friction and practically no wear. Hydrogenerators with vertical shafts are the most important application of large thrust bearings. Main design and scientific problems of large tilting pad bearings, example applications as well as the results of research are described in this encyclopedia entry.
