The invention relates to a shaft for supplying air to a fuel cell, comprising a tubular body (12), at least sections of which are hollow, and which has a first component (14) and a second component (16) that are connected to one another at respective neighbouring axial end sections (14a, 16a), and wherein air can flow through a hollow space (12a) of the tubular body (12) for cooling components arranged next to the shaft (10). The invention also relates to a radial compressor (1). The invention further relates to a method for producing a radial compressor (1).

The disclosure relates to a high-speed radial fan and to a rotor assembly (10) for a high-speed radial fan, comprising a bearing tube (20) which is axially open in the interior and in which a shaft (40) carrying a fan wheel (30) is mounted with a rotor (50), wherein the rotor (50) of the rotor assembly (10) is mounted in a cylindrical separating can (3).

Provided are a bearing assembly, a bearing assembly mounting structure and an air blowing apparatus. The bearing assembly includes: a bearing sleeve including an inner assembling face, and a bearing mounted into the bearing sleeve from an axial side of the bearing sleeve and including an outer assembling face corresponding to the inner assembling face. The inner assembling face and/or the outer assembling face is provided with a supporting structure protruding toward an opposing assembling face and cooperating with the opposing assembling face in a contacting manner, and the supporting structure is symmetrically disposed in a peripheral direction of the assembling face where the supporting structure is located.

A turbocharger includes: an oil drainage path formed in a radial bearing support, one end of the oil drainage path being opened on at least one of a surface facing a thrust bearing and a surface facing a supported portion in the radial bearing support, the other end of the oil drainage path being opened on a bottom surface of the radial bearing support, an entire projected surface of the oil drainage path projected along a central axis thereof to an oil outlet being included within the oil outlet; and an oil drainage space provided between the thrust bearing and an impeller and connected to an oil chamber.

A bearing housing includes an inner housing portion centered on a central axis and an outer housing portion centered on the central axis. The inner housing portion has a first end and a second end positioned axially away from the first end. The outer housing portion has a first end and a second end positioned axially away from the first end. A disk portion connects the second end of the outer housing portion to the second end of the inner housing portion The outer housing portion includes a radially outer surface having a diameter Doh1, a radially inner surface having a diameter Doh2, and a shoulder on the first end of the outer housing portion and having a radially outer surface with a diameter Ds. Diameter Ds is smaller than the diameter Doh1 and larger than the diameter Doh2.

A turbocharger includes a tubular floating bearing inserted into a bearing housing and a shaft inserted into the floating bearing. An annular slinger is arranged on an outer circumferential surface of at least one of opposite axial ends of the shaft, which protrudes from the float bearing. The bearing housing defines an oil discharge space surrounding the slinger externally in a radial direction. The bearing housing includes a guide wall protruding from an inner wall surface of the oil discharge space. The guide wall is configured to guide oil in the oil discharge space toward the oil discharge port.

A magnetic bearing for a turbomachine includes a stator fixable to a structure of a turbomachine; a rotor magnetically coupled to the stator and defining a rotation axis, the rotor having a front central surface, a rear central surface opposite to the front central surface and an external surface with respect to the rotation axis; the rotor is provided with an internal channel configured to displace cooling fluid.

A turbocharger includes: an oil drainage path formed in a radial bearing support, one end of the oil drainage path being opened on at least one of a surface facing a thrust bearing and a surface facing a supported portion in the radial bearing support, the other end of the oil drainage path being opened on a bottom surface of the radial bearing support, an entire projected surface of the oil drainage path projected along a central axis thereof to an oil outlet being included within the oil outlet; and an oil drainage space provided between the thrust bearing and an impeller and connected to an oil chamber.

A fluid bearing for operably connecting a shaft to a center housing of a turbocharger is provided. The fluid bearing includes a single-piece bearing sleeve defining a bore between first and second ends that each form a thrust face. The sleeve includes first and second bearing portions proximal to an associated one of the first and second ends, and a shank connecting the first and second bearing portions. Each of the first and second bearing portions includes an outer bearing surface defining a maximum outer diameter, and each of the first and second bearing portions includes an inner bearing surface defining a minimum inner diameter for radially supporting the shaft in the bore. The inner bearing surface is a continuous surface free of grooves. The sleeve has a wall thickness defining oil passages spaced from the inner bearing surface and configured to supply oil to the thrust face.
