BEARING PAD AND BEARING DEVICE
A bearing pad that supports a rotating shaft rotating about an axis includes: a pad body having a hollow portion formed therein, a lubricating oil supply path for supplying a lubricating oil to the hollow portion, and a lubricating oil discharge path for discharging the lubricating oil to an outside from the hollow portion; and a support structure that is packed into the hollow portion and radially connects inner wall surfaces forming the hollow portion while including a space. The hollow portion is formed in a region shifted to a forward side in a rotation direction of the rotating shaft in the pad body.
Turbocharger and engine system
A turbocharger includes: a rotating shaft which extends along an axis; a turbine wheel which is provided on one end side of the rotating shaft; a compressor wheel which is provided on the other end side of the rotating shaft; a rolling bearing which includes an inner race fixed to an outer circumferential surface of the rotating shaft, an outer race surrounding the inner race from an outside in a radial direction, and rolling bodies arranged between the inner race and the outer race and rotatably supports the rotating shaft around the axis; a housing which covers the rolling bearing from an outer circumferential side with a gap between the housing and an outer circumferential surface of the rolling bearing; and a plurality of lubricating oil supply lines through which lubricating oil is supplied to different locations in the housing at different state quantities.
Flow strakes for turbocharger bearing housing oil core
A bearing housing for a turbocharger is disclosed. The bearing housing includes a first end proximate to a turbine wheel of the turbocharger and a second end proximate to a compressor wheel of the turbocharger. The bearing housing further includes a central chamber disposed between the first end and the second end and configured to house, at least, the shaft. The bearing housing further includes an oil drain disposed radially outward of the shaft and configured for directing oil out of the bearing housing and an oil core disposed radially outward of the shaft and radially inward of the oil drain, the oil core configured for communicating oil towards the oil drain and having an inner wall. The bearing housing includes one or more strakes protruding radially inward from the inner wall, the one or more strakes configured to direct oil within the oil core towards the oil drain.

Guide rail with fastening holes and heat sink
A guide rail, for use with a guide carriage having at least one row of rolling elements, extends along a longitudinal axis and has at least one running surface for the rolling elements, a separate heat sink, and a plurality of first through holes. The running surface is arranged parallel to the longitudinal axis. The heat sink extends along the longitudinal axis and lies against the guide rail. At least sections of the heat sink delimit a first and a second cooling channel that each extend along the longitudinal axis. The first through holes are distributed along the longitudinal axis and are configured to receive screw-bolts. The heat sink has a plurality of second through holes, each aligning with and continuing an associated first through hole. The first and second cooling channels are located on opposite sides of the plurality of second through holes.

Mould closing unit with heat management
A mould closing unit (100) for an injection-moulding machine has an electromechanical closing mechanism (M) for opening and closing an injection mould, said electromechanical closing mechanism (M) being actuated by means of at least one spindle unit (10) having at least one spindle (12) and at least one spindle nut (14). Cooling by way of cooling ducts (32) for heat dissipation from the spindle unit (10) is provided. Since the spindle (12) has, in the core, at least one bore (24) in which a cooling and/or lubricating medium is passed into the region of the contact points between the spindle nut (14) and the spindle (12) via at least one lance (20), efficient cooling of the spindle unit is achieved.
BEARING STRUCTURE AND TURBOCHARGER
A bearing structure includes: a shaft provided with a turbine impeller; a pair of rolling bearings accommodated in a bearing hole and each including: an inner ring provided to the shaft; and an outer ring having a damper portion formed on an outer periphery of the outer ring; an opposing surface opposed to, from a turbine impeller side, a lateral surface of the outer ring of the rolling bearing provided on the turbine impeller side; and a first oil supply groove formed in the opposing surface and opposed to at least the damper portion and the lateral surface of the outer ring.
