What is the purpose of applying a certain amount of compressive force to the upper bearing shell in a radial sliding bearing?
Are you referring to the interference amount between the bearing and the bushing, 0.03 to 0.05 MM, that is, 3 to 5 microns?
Thank you! So what is the purpose of applying this pressure? Is it to provide the appropriate clearance for the shaft inside the bearing, or is it to apply a compressive force to the bearing?
The purpose of the pressing force on the upper bearing shell of a radial sliding bearing is to prevent the bearing from vibrating during operation, and to avoid significant changes in the clearance adjusted for the bearing when it is at rest.
This is the main engine of the power plant, right? The bearing shells of the auxiliary engines generally don’t need to be tightened; having anti-rotation pins should be sufficient
2~3 threads, aimed at preventing slight play in the bearing
It has nothing to do with the bearing clearance; it’s simply to prevent the bearing from shifting
