Thrust Bearings Series D For Absorbtion Of High Axial And Radial Loads

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed technical information about RENK thrust bearings, specifically types DG and DR, which are designed to handle high axial and radial loads, including shock loads, regardless of rotation direction. These bearings are used in applications such as propeller shafts, turbines, and pumps.
Specifications: The thrust bearings feature RS/RD thrust pads with circular working surfaces, proven effective over 25 years. Type DR bearings are available with natural cooling, water cooling, or oil circulation lubrication, while type DG bearings require an external oil supply. The housings are typically saddle-type, with pedestal options available.
Bearing Housing: Made from high-quality cast iron (EN-GJL-300), with alternatives like nodular cast iron (EN-GJS-400-18-LT) available. The radial part is usually two bearing shells in halves for easy assembly and alignment, made from steel (C 10) and lined with RENK metal therm 89 or therm V6.
Thrust Part: For propeller shafts, bearings come with 12 rigidly supported tilting RS thrust pads. For stationary applications, 12 elastically supported tilting RD thrust pads are used.
Seals: Standard seals are made of corrosion-resistant aluminum alloys, corresponding to protection grade IP 44. Special seals are available upon request.
Oil Supply: Type DR bearings can operate with self-lubrication, while type DG requires an external oil supply and cooling system. Emergency lubrication is provided during run-down.
Heat Dissipation: At low speeds or moderate loads, heat is dissipated naturally. For higher demands, water-cooled oil coolers can be installed.
Temperature Monitoring: Standard monitoring uses two independent thermosensors. RENK resistance or angle thermometers are recommended.
Oil Selection: Any recognized brand of good quality plain mineral oil can be used. Viscosity is determined by EDP calculations during the design stage.
Flanged Thrust Shaft: Made from forged steel, fully machined, and available upon request. Customers providing their own shafts should coordinate with RENK for specifications.
Certification: Acceptance by any specified classification society is possible.
Technical Information: Detailed specifications for different configurations and sizes are provided, including dimensions and load capacities.
Load Table: Provides radial and axial load capacities for different bearing sizes, essential for selecting the appropriate bearing type.
Contact Information: Includes contact details for RENK's headquarters, sales organizations, and international sales agencies.

Thrust Bearings Series D For Absorbtion Of High Axial And Radial Loads-1

Thrust Bearings Series D For Absorbtion Of High Axial And Radial Loads Thrust Bearings Type DG/DR RENK thrust bearings type DG/DR will absorb high axial and radial loads, even shockloads, irrespective of the sense of rotation. The main feature of the bearings series D are the RS/RD thrust pads with circular working surfaces, as fully tested and proven in service in numerous applications for well over 25 years. The bearings type DR are available with natural cooling, water cooling or oil circulation lubrication, the bearings type DG are available with external oil supply only. Housings are normally of a saddletype (with support near the split line). A pedestal type of housing is also available on request (see also separate catalogue „Thrust Bearings Type DN“ RH-1073)

Technical Information This publication contains all the relevant information that is needed when considering the use of thrust bearings (shaft range 180 to 600 mm diameter) for propeller shafts, turbines and pumps. Bearing Housing The strong housing of the thrust bearing sizes 16 to 56 is made from a high quality cast iron (EN-GJL-300). Alternative materials, such as nodular cast iron (EN-GJS-400-18-LT), can be supplied in special cases. Radial Part The radial part is normally designed as two bearing shells, in halves and has a plain cylindrical seating in the housing. The use of two shells offers...

Load Table The table serves only to select the size of DG/DR-Type bearing. Before booking an order, however, it will be necessary to carry out an EDP calculation, taking into account the reciprocal influence of operating parameters. (1) Radial loads FR in [kN] as permanent load (maximum value) for plain cylindrical bore without hydrostatic jacking. (2) Radial loads FR in [kN] as permanent load (maximum value) for plain cylindrical bore with hydrostatic jacking. (3) Axial load FA [kN] as maximum admissible load at start-up. During operation, this load can be increased by approx. 60%. The values...
