Question:

In power plants, are the bearings used in turbines rolling or plain bearings?

In power plants, are the bearings used in turbines rolling or plain bearings?

Answer:

Of course, sliding bearings, the advantages are: (1) good bearing, pressure (2), large contact surface, wear resistance (3), good fixation, to prevent rotation when the axis deviation from the wear and tear, and the occurrence of an accident.
Is the bearing type alloy sliding bearing, high precision, strong stability, high bearing capacity, easy to assemble and maintain!
Because of the high speed of the turbine, it is usually a sliding bearing. Rolling bearings are used only for low speed generators.
