The design of the main bearing housing is important for a long rotor bearing life. The following factors must be taken into consideration when designing the housing:
- Housing shape
- Load (forces and moments)
- Material
- Adjacent construction
- Support surface (tolerances, surface structure, connection)
- Screws (number, dimension, quality)
Features:
- GGG40.3 nodular cast iron
- Designing with BEM and FEM methods
- Diverse oil and grease lubrication designs
- Taking on the functions: load application, lubrication and sealing, rotor locking and recording of measured values
