  • Hydrodynamic plain bearing and method of lubricating and cooling the bearing
    Patent number: 6966700
    Abstract: A method of lubricating and cooling a hydrodynamic plain bearing for a rotating element comprises the steps of supplying fresh, cold lubricant under pressure from a pressure chamber arranged upstream of a fixed gliding plane to a lubricating gap between the fixed gliding plane and the rotating element, the supply of fresh, cold lubricant being so controlled that an effective lubricating wedge is formed between the rotating element and the fixed gliding plane.

  • Hydrodynamic plain bearing and method of lubricating and cooling the bearing
    Publication number: 20020018604
    Abstract: A method of lubricating and cooling a hydrodynamic plain bearing for a rotating element comprises the steps of supplying fresh, cold lubricant under pressure from a pressure chamber arranged downstream of a fixed gliding plane to a lubricating gap between the fixed gliding plane and the rotating element, the supply of fresh, cold lubricant being so controlled that an effective lubricating wedge is formed between the rotating element and the fixed gliding plane.

  • Turbine or compressor guide blade and method of manufacturing same
    Patent number: 4704066
    Abstract: A method for the manufacture of a guide blade for a turbine or compressor guide wheel, uses a profiled bar of heat and corrosion resistant metal that is cut to oversize length. This is in preparation for soldering the bar into a guide wheel, with the bar having at least at one end a baselike thickening which is upset in a cold state, and with a soldering surface formed in its inner zone.
