The intermediate shafting if supported in plain or tilting pad bearings, has an after most bearing which is lined top and bottom. Roller bearings are installed in many vessels.
Any bearing instability, regardless of its nature is called 'oil whip'. Bearing instability falls into two types 1. Half frequency whirl 2. Resonant whip The most effective bearing to prevent oil whip and dampen shaft vibration is the tilting and multiple shoe bearing. Oil film operates at a lower temperature than a comparable full sleeved bearing.
Tilting pad bearings are in common use on steam turbines, high speed reduction gears, centrifugal compressors and line shafting.
Rotating inner ring is in two halves with a scarf or diagonal joint so that the tendency of the joint to open due to the weight of the shaft is reduced when the Inner Ring joint is at bottom centre. The scarf also allows more progressive transition of the roller over the joint reducing noise and vibration Cage And rollers Pedestal Cap Split cartrdige Clamping ring The cage and rollers are in a matched pair with a diagonal split Clamps the splt cartridge. The joint is spherical allowing upto 2 1/2' of swivel without effect. Is located by dowels and holds the outer ring in position. radial socket screw attach the outer ring securely to the split cartridge This rotating ring secures the split inner ring assembly and is joined by socket head screws
Clearance exists between the inner ring and thesplit cartridge. This allows movement of the shaft between thrust pads during ahead and astern movements. This also allows for thermal expansion of the shaft.
Plane white metal bearings offer a relatively high frictional resistance to rolling but are cheap and not subject to brinelling or corrosion. Roller bearings are expensive but offer little resistance to rolling. However, they are susceptible to brinelling when stationary. The above design removes the major disadvantage of assembling the bearing onto the shaft which would normally require shaft removal.
