Vertical Bearings and Inserts Series EV For Highspeed Machines

Type EVE

Type EVF

RENK vertical bearings and inserts series EV are vertical bearings of the most up-todate design. They have been developed for electrical machines, turbines, pumps and blowers of vertical construction. Many years of experience in the manufacture of vertical bearings, plus the latest methods of computing bearing performance, together with systematic design improvements have culminated in the highly successful EV series. This leaflet offers details on type EVF, guide bearings and on type EVE, single-acting thrust and guide bearings. The main components for the EVE type for downward thrust loads of 50 to 1300 kN are available from stock. Shafts to fit the EVE and EVF bearings range in size from 80 to 560 mm diameter. On request, we can also supply details on type EVD, a double acting vertical bearing, suitable for taking heavy upward and downward loads.

Technical Information

Vertical bearings type EV consist of a main body, a runner and an oil tank. The vertical bearing inserts type EVF are provided with a journal part to accomodate radial loads. Type EVE is fitted with a thrust part to take thrust loads. The runner ensures the transfer of forces to the radial tilting pads and to the RD circular pads (RD thrust pads) respectively. The runner is connected to the shaft by a tight shrink fit or by a loose shrink fit and a fitting key. In the case of EVF type guide bearings flanged shaft and runner can be machined from one piece. If required, the EV vertical inserts can be supplied with an oil tank of suitable size, unless the machine housing has the function of an oil tank or unless the customer prefers to fit the machine with an oil tank of his own manufacture. Thrust Parts One of the basic features of the EVE type bearings are the RD circular tilting pads made from mild steel (C 10) with the working surface made from RENKmetal therm V89. These circular pads are supported by cup springs which ensure an equalization of load distribution. In case of damage, the RD circular pads can be replaced individually. When slight upward forces or shocks occur with a particular application, the EVE type bearing can be fitted with a thrust part with sliding surfaces coated with RENKmetal therm V89. Journal Part The journal part of an EV type bearing consists of individually adjustable radial tilting pads made from mild steel (C 10). The running surface of the pads is coated with

RENKmetal therm V89. That is why, here again, individual pads can be replaced as required. Since the radial tilting pads are adjustable, it is possible to modify the elastic and damping characteristics of the oil film during test runs or on site. In this way the critical shaft speed with respect to bending deflection can be influenced. Individual adjustable pads allow for the rotor centre to be offset within the machine. For special design it is possible to replace the radial tilting pads by a plain cylindrical shell. Heat Dissipation and Lubrication Depending on operating conditions the dissipaton losses of the bearing can be transferred by natural cooling through the oil reservoir surface, by additional water cooling in the oil sump or by external cooling of the circulating oil. The safest manner to operate vertical bearings is with selflubrication with the lubricating oil fed to the thrust and journal pads by the transfer action of the rotating runner. Whenever an oil circulating system is used, the oil reservoir should be large enough to guarantee emergency self-lubrication in case of a breakdown of the oil circulating system. Seals Standard oil reservoirs are fitted with seals conforming to type of protection IP 42. Seals for higher protection grades can be fitted on request. To prevent oil mist from being sucked out by external local vacuum, dual (DUO) seals are provided where internal pressure can be made to conform to external influences by the equalization of atmospheric pressure or by admission of higher pressure.

Admissible Thrust Loads The table on the right indicates the admissible continuous upwards loads for the EVE type inserts equipped with plain sliding surfaces (B) or with taper land surfaces (K) for both senses of rotation.
