The purpose of the Discharge End Bearing is to
support the Shaft when the Press is running empty or under light
load.
Without a Bearing the Shaft will sag and the Worms
will rub against the Cage linings, causing damage to both the Worm
Assembly components and the Cage Linings.
To be successful the Bearing needs to be effectively separated
from the Hot Steam atmosphere that will exist at the Discharge End of the
Press. |
