Centrifugal compressor bearings
Thread Content
Are there usually 2 bearings in a centrifuge? One radial bearing on the side close to the coupling, and a thrust bearing on the other side? What types are generally used?
What type of compressor is it? Some have one support + one thrust bearing, while others have two supports + one thrust bearing.
Generally, there are two types of supports, one of which is a thrust bearing used to counteract the thrust resulting from the pressure difference at the inlet and outlet of the unit
Generally, there are two radial bearings and one thrust bearing. The types of radial bearings include fixed bearings and tilting bearings； Thrust bearings include the Michel type, King-Burrell type (tilting pad type), and fixed pad type (with fixed thrust surface)
