🔍 Key Concepts

• Thrust bearing construction – identify the thrust shoes, running surfaces, and how the cap holds them in place. • Clearances and measurements – note the dimensions i1, i2, g, g1, and the note about maximum difference with bearing bolts taken up. • Good maintenance practice – think about cleanliness, torque sequence, and when clearances are supposed to be checked.

💭 Think About

• From the illustration, when does the manual expect you to check dimensions – before or after tightening the cap? • Looking at the thrust shoes and bearing halves, what condition must exist before the cap goes on so they aren’t damaged or misaligned? • Which options would contradict standard practice about reassembling machinery that has been contaminated with abrasive material?

✅ Before You Answer

• Compare each choice to the note in the figure about difference i1–i2 = max 0.2 mm with bearing bolts taken up and decide when that check is made. • Ask whether proper procedure would ever allow reassembly if the bearing was covered with abrasive material or contaminants. • Think about a uniform torque pattern on bearing caps – would you normally torque one side fully at a time, or bring both sides up evenly?

Prior to installing the cap, position the thrust shoes in their proper locations.

If the device is covered with abrasive material or contaminates, the unit may be reassembled, provided an abnormal method of reassembly is followed.

Once the bearing cap is properly torqued, measure the end gap dimensions to ascertain even tightening of the cap.

After applying anti-seize to the external threads, torque one side at a time to the appropriate values using a quality torque wrench.
