Sliding intermediate shaft bearing of marine shafting
Sliding intermediate bearings in ship shaft systems typically use lubricating oil films to support and reduce friction. This design is common in ship transmission systems, especially in the main shaft system of large ships. Sliding intermediate bearings are mainly divided into single oil wedge sliding intermediate bearings and multi oil wedge sliding intermediate bearings.
Overview
Sliding intermediate bearings in ship shaft systems typically use lubricating oil films to support and reduce friction. This design is common in ship transmission systems, especially in the main shaft system of large ships. Sliding intermediate bearings play an important role in ship shaft systems, ensuring the stable operation of transmission systems and safe navigation of ships.
