Sliding bearing segment for e.g. water turbine, has sliding surfaces slid at counter surfaces, where segment is pivotably mounted in pivot bearing such that wedge gap is adjusted during operation between segment and counter surfaces

摘要

The segment (23) has sliding surfaces that are slid at different counter rotation surfaces. The segment is pivotably mounted in a pivot bearing in a movable manner such that a convergent wedge gap is automatically adjusted during operation between the segment and the counter surfaces. The segment is provided with a radial bearing surface and an axial bearing surface. The segment is mounted such that a limited pivoting movement is performed at an axial pivot axis (7) and a radial pivot axis (8). The segment is connected with a housing (18) in a form-fit manner.
