A bearing carrier is provided. The bearing carrier including: a bearing body of a first material having a shaft-receiving aperture and a bridge land with a finger cut to channel fluid pressurized by intermeshing of gears rotatably supported by the bearing carrier into an outlet defined by a housing enveloping the bearing carrier, wherein the bearing body includes a bearing face configured to be in a facing spaced relationship with the gears, wherein the bearing face includes a second material integral with the first material, wherein at least one of the first material and the second material define a portion of the bearing face of the bearing body extending about the shaft-receiving aperture, the portion of the bearing face excluding the bridgeland.

A system includes a device with at least one recess with a wall. The at least one recess includes a first hole with a first diameter. At least one bearing surface is configured to be inserted into and removed from the at least one recess. The at least one bearing surface includes a second hole with a second diameter that is less than the first diameter. At least one cross-pin is configured to be positioned within the first hole and the second hole. At least one washer is positioned within the recess provides a biasing force to urge the bearing surface upward.

A repair axial bearing system includes an arcuate rail coupled to a support, one or more bolts protruding upward from a raised portion coupled to a supported member, and a lever plate including at least one low friction bearing pad mounted in the lever plate. A first new bearing surface is formed on the arcuate rail. A second new bearing surface is formed on the at least one low friction bearing pad. The one or more bolts are tensioned with bolt tensioners to press the lever plate against the raised portion. The axial bearing system can include a hydraulic cylinder to slide the second bearing surface over the first bearing surface. The repair axial bearing system can be used to supplant a damaged axial bearing positioned between an FPSO and a turret.

An exhaust-side journal bearing for supporting a gas turbine rotor is disposed inside a bearing box. The bearing box is supported by a strut which extends inward from an exhaust casing, and a seal ring having an annular inner peripheral end is disposed on the bearing box. Executed during a maintenance work are: a bearing adjustment step of displacing a bearing surface of the journal bearing relative to the bearing box in a perpendicular direction perpendicular to the axial direction; and a seal ring adjustment step of displacing the inner peripheral end of the seal ring relative to the bearing box in accordance with the direction of displacement and the amount of displacement of the bearing surface.

A bearing structure comprises: two bearings arranged in an axis direction and having outer rings and inner rings; and a spacer interposed between the bearings. The spacer comprises: a ring-like outer ring spacer interposed between the outer rings of the two bearings arranged in the axis direction, and having an insertion hole penetrating the outer ring spacer in a radial direction RD and into which a jig is to be inserted; and a ring-like inner ring spacer interposed between the inner rings of the two bearings arranged in the axis direction, and having an engagement part to make engagement with the jig inserted into the insertion hole. The one bearing is capable of being pulled out together with the spacer from a rotary shaft supported by the inner rings by pulling the jig in the axis direction inserted into the insertion hole and engaged with the engagement part.

Provided is a wind turbine, including a rotor with a rotor shaft connected to a generator and a bearing housing, whereby the bearing housing includes at least a first bearing group and a second bearing group each comprising at least a primary bearing setup and a secondary bearing setup in which bearing is receivable, whereby the rotor shaft is rotatably arranged by the primary bearing setups or the secondary bearing setups.

A method for replacing a portion of a first outer bearing assembly for a generator with a second outer bearing assembly. The first outer bearing assembly includes a first liner and a first outer bearing race. The method includes removing the first outer bearing race and the first liner and inserting a second liner. The second liner is matched to a given diameter such that the second outer bearing assembly fits within the generator. A position ring of the second outer bearing assembly is inserted against the machined second liner and a generator housing. A second bearing race of said second outer bearing assembly is inserted against the position ring. The second bearing race of the second outer bearing assembly is connected against the position ring and against a generator housing.

An agricultural machine includes at least one processing device for harvested material and a drive train for the at least one processing device. The drive train has an output transmission stage with an output shaft for the at least one processing device. The output transmission stage includes an input gear and a grooved shaft connected in a non-rotatable manner to the input gear and the output shaft in such a manner that a drive connection between the input gear and the output shaft is achieved via the grooved shaft. The grooved shaft is provided with a ring groove defining a predetermined breaking point. The ring groove is configured in the drive flow direction between the input gear and the output shaft, and the grooved shaft is accessible through an assembly opening on an input gear side of the grooved shaft. The assembly opening is axially aligned with the grooved shaft.

A bearing structure comprises: two bearings arranged in an axis direction and having outer rings and inner rings; and a spacer interposed between the bearings. The spacer comprises: a ring-like outer ring spacer interposed between the outer rings of the two bearings arranged in the axis direction, and having an insertion hole penetrating the outer ring spacer in a radial direction RD and into which a jig is to be inserted; and a ring-like inner ring spacer interposed between the inner rings of the two bearings arranged in the axis direction, and having an engagement part to make engagement with the jig inserted into the insertion hole. The one bearing is capable of being pulled out together with the spacer from a rotary shaft supported by the inner rings by pulling the jig in the axis direction inserted into the insertion hole and engaged with the engagement part.

Methods and devices for tensioning a cable are disclosed. The device comprises a nut having two open ends, two bolts, each bolt having a central bore and adapted to mate with one open end of the nut, and two cable securement devices. The cable securement devices are smaller than an inner diameter of the nut and larger than a diameter of the central bores of the bolts.
