Ship propeller shaft bearing
INTERMEDIATE
Cedervall
General
The Cedervall Intermediate Thrust Bering is designed as a single collar thrust bearing, specially reinforced for taking the thrust in ahead as well as in astearn direction.
Execution
The bearing consists of two faces of tilting pads on pivots to transmit the thrust from the shafting to the bearing housing. The stiffness of the design and the position of the supporting legs minimizes the tilting effect with the benefit
of low stress levels. The oil circulating and cooling system is available either as an selflubricating system with integrated cooler or as external pump and cooler unit, with all remote monitoring of temperatures and oil flow installed. Workshop tests confirming design and performance under working conditions up to thrusts well
above 1500kN are performed and documentations of these test and approval from Classification societies are delivered with bearing.
