  • Patent number: 12117289
    Abstract: The present application provides a bump check tool for determining a clearance between a shim of a thrust bearing and a rotor flange of a rotor shaft within a casing of a gas turbine engine. The bump check tool includes a hydraulic cylinder, a connection plate attached to the hydraulic cylinder and positioned about the rotor shaft and a support frame supporting the hydraulic cylinder and attached to the casing. The hydraulic cylinder drives the connection plate and the rotor shaft to determine the clearance between the shim of the thrust bearing and the rotor flange of the rotor shaft.

  • Patent number: 10174554
    Abstract: The gate has an exchangeable span that is fixed to the load bearing beam and is connected with pulley bearings and rope-slings to the system of adjustable counterweights. The drive system is fitted with an electric drive with a worm-wheel mounted to the load bearing beam that travels vertically along the worm. The beam, span and the drive travel on adjustable guiderails inside a reinforced concrete pit in the direction opposite to that of counterweights. The load bearing beam is fitted with rollers and retaining rollers mounted to the cover. Emergency (manual) operation of the gate is possible by turning a crank handle connected with the worm, having released the lock that prevents the worm from rotating on its axis.
