Question 1 of 27070

Which of the following types of bearings are used for the reduction gears in a marine steam turbine installation?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Types of bearing materials commonly used in high-speed, high-load marine machinery • The function and loading of reduction gears in a steam turbine installation • Differences between thrust/journal bearings vs. stern tube/shaft bearings

💭 Think About

• Think about which bearing type is best suited for high-speed, heavily loaded gear shafts in a lubricated gearbox environment. • Consider which materials are typically used in stern tube or propeller shaft bearings versus those used inside gear cases. • Ask yourself: which option is associated with water-lubricated shaft bearings rather than enclosed, oil-lubricated machinery?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choices are known for water-lubricated shaft/stern tube use and eliminate them for reduction gears. • Confirm which bearing type is commonly paired with white metal (Babbitt) and split shells in marine main and reduction gear applications. • Make sure the material selected is appropriate for oil-lubricated, high-speed, precision gear support, not low-speed or non-metallic applications.
