Regeneration of thrust discs

Regeneration of thrust discs

Blurring of the thrust disc of the thrust bearing is a big problem for the owner of the device. However, such cases can be regenerated without dismantling the rotor, which is costly and time-consuming work. To this end, we have developed a device for turning and grinding thrust discs as well another face surfaces on turbine rotors, without disassembly. Local surface hardening, caused by an increase in temperature due to friction – causes of damage – are always a major obstacle that needs to be taken into account in the regeneration of the thrust disc. Usually, the requirements for surface quality and deviation of shape are very high, hence the […]
