Split bearing for wankel engine

摘要

A multi-rotor Wankel type rotary engine is disclosed having an intermediate or center bearing assembly for the eccentric shaft in addition to end bearing assemblies. The center bearing is split along a central plane for special assembly techniques. The indermediate housing, receiving the center bearing, is substantially hollow and has a sector interrupting the hollow interior to act as a support for one of the split portions of the center bearing. The portions are joined to the sector by a pair of bolts extending only through the sector and split bearing portions.
