turbomacchina low wear and with direct detection of axial force agent on the tree

摘要

To set a rotor (3) on-axis, two tilting pad bearings (9,9') act as opposites with tilting pads (11) that each work together with allocated stopping faces (10,10') on a shaft (4). One or more tilting pads for each tilting pad bearing each has force-sensing devices (FSD) (12,12') for directly detecting axial force acting on an allocated tilting pad. The FSD link to an electronic control device.
