The bearings are designed to take up and transfer to the ship's hull the axial thrust of the propeller and the radial load from the shaft mass.
Advantages:
possibility of increasing the average thrust load per unit area up to 50 kg and increasing the load capacity of the bearing by 2.5 times compared to a similar non-self-aligning bearing
load capacity and reliability of self-aligning bearings with individual type of lubrication is high and in some cases is equal to the load capacity of a similar bearing with circulating type of lubrication.
self-aligning axial plain bearings with self-contained lubrication produced by SEVMASH do not require a circulating lubrication system, the failure of which leads to loss of the ship's motion.
low operating costs
bearing models have been developed in which the foundation flange is combined with the socket flange, which completely eliminates the overturning moment.
