  • Patent number: 9790066
    Abstract: A rotating shaft lifting jig is inserted between a rotating shaft of a rotary machine and a bearing stand surrounding the outer periphery of at least a lower part of the rotating shaft. The jig for lifting the rotating shaft includes: a pedestal which is supported on an inner peripheral surface of the bearing stand; and a jack part which is disposed between the pedestal and the outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft and extends/contracts in the radial direction. The radial dimension of the pedestal is smaller than a radial clearance between the rotating shaft and the bearing stand. A rotor receiver having a cylindrical surface conforming to the outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft is provided between the jack part and the rotating shaft. The rotor receiver is provided with a plurality of support members in directions different from the direction of the jack part.

  • Publication number: 20100220944
    Abstract: To reduce the amount of lubricating oil released (supplied) between the outer circumferential surface of a rotation shaft and the inner circumferential surfaces of pads, so as to reduce the churning loss, and to reduce the bearing loss. The journal bearing comprises: a plurality of pads arranged radially inside a lower half-carrier ring at intervals, for receiving load from the rotation shaft; and a plurality of pad stops respectively arranged at the circumferentially opposite ends of the respective pads, for restraining circumferential movements of the respective pads, wherein, among these pad stops, the pad stops other than the pad stop located in the most forward position in the axial rotation direction of the rotation shaft have functions as oiling nozzles for releasing lubricating oil between the outer circumferential surface of the rotation shaft and the inner circumferential surfaces of the pads.
