A mechanical gearbox for aircraft includes a sun gear with an external toothing, a ring gear with an internal toothing, and planet gears which are meshed with the sun gear and the ring gear and which each have a first toothing of average diameter D32 meshed with the toothing of the sun gear, and a second toothing of average diameter D28, different from D32, meshed with the internal toothing of the ring gear. The planet gears are guided by hydrodynamic bearings which each include a first smooth guiding surface extending at least partly under the first toothing, and a second smooth guiding surface extending at least partly under the second toothing.

A self-adjusting static pressured plane guide rail consists of a base, slider provided on the base and an upper pressing plate corresponding to the shoulders on both sides of the slider; wherein: each upper pressing plate's outer edge contacts the base to form a fulcrum and the upper pressing plate's inner edge acts as the force portion and a upper pressing block is set between force portion and the slider's shoulder and a metal wire is set between the upper pressing block's top surface and the force portion's bottom surface of upper pressing plate along the slider's sliding direction; the upper pressing plate is provided with pre-tightening bolt to connect the base in a fixed way. When vibration frequency changes during operation, the oil film gap changes accordingly due to pre-tightening bolt's elasticity of the mutual function and the metal wire's elasticity to always maintain oil film layer's rigidity function.

A magnetic gravity compensator comprises a stator (1), a rotor (2), a base (4) and an adjustment mechanism (6). The stator (1) is disposed on the base (4), and the rotor (2) is levitated with respect to the stator (1). The stator (1) comprises a central cylindrical magnet (11) that is fixed to the base (4) by the adjustment mechanism (6) and consists of at least two arc magnets (111). The adjustment mechanism (6) has a first end fixed to the base (4) and a second end securely connected to the at least two arc magnets (111). The adjustment mechanism (6) is configured to drive the at least two arc magnets (111) to synchronously move radially with respect to a central axis of the central cylindrical magnet (11) so as to change a magnetic circuit between the central cylindrical magnet (11) and the rotor (2), and thereby adjust a magnetic levitation force between the stator (1) and the rotor (2).

An actuator includes a guide that extends in one direction and a slider that is movable in an axial direction with respect to the guide. Either the guide or the slider has a recessed cross-section, and the slider is guided by the guide while the other of the guide and the slider is restrained by three surfaces constituting the recessed cross-section.

A turbine and a turbine-generator device for use in electricity generation. The turbine has a universal design and so may be relatively easily modified for use in connection with generators having a rated power output in the range of 50 KW to 5 MW. Such modifications are achieved, in part, through use of a modular turbine cartridge built up of discrete rotor and stator plates sized for the desired application with turbine brush seals chosen to accommodate radial rotor movements from the supported generator. The cartridge may be installed and removed from the turbine relatively easily for maintenance or rebuilding. The rotor housing is designed to be relatively easily machined to dimensions that meet desired operating parameters.

A processing machine includes: a static pressure bearing configured to support a drive shaft; a fluid feeder configured to output a fluid to be supplied to the static pressure bearing, in accordance with rotation of a servomotor; a sensor configured to detect a physical quantity of the fluid output from the fluid feeder; and a control unit configured to control the rotation speed of the servomotor according to the physical quantity of the fluid.

A roll stand (1) includes a roll (3), in particular a backup roll, mounted via oil film bearings (2). Each oil film bearing (2) has a sealing system for sealing the oil film bearing (2) to prevent oil leakage and a coolant ingress. The oil film bearing (2) is integrated into an oil-circulating lubrication system (4), which is fluidically connected to the oil film bearing (2) via oil feed lines (5) and an oil discharge line (6). A first sensor (11) is arranged in the oil feed line (5) and a second sensor (12) is arranged in the oil discharge line (6). The two sensors (11, 12) are designed to determine the coolant content in the relevant oil volume flow.

A cleaning apparatus has a hollow input shaft connectable to a hydraulic pressure source, is received in a first housing part and has a fluid conduit, with at least one lateral or axial input and at least one lateral output. At least one hollow output shaft is fluidically coupled to the hollow input shaft, received in a second housing part, and has a fluid channel, with at least one lateral input and at least one lateral or axial output. The hollow input shaft and/or the hollow output shaft is/are mounted rotatably about the longitudinal axis thereof relative to the relevant housing part. A first chamber is at least between the input or output of the hollow input shaft or the input of the at least one hollow output shaft and an interior lateral surface of a sealing sleeve. The sealing sleeve is fixed in a stationary and non-rotatable manner on the relevant housing part and arranged surrounding a portion of the hollow input or output shaft. Regions of the interior lateral surface of the sealing sleeve extending axially from the first chamber form a gap seal with the exterior lateral surface of the hollow input or output shaft.
