据“Turbomachinery Internationai”1993年1—2月号报导,美国罗得岛州西格林威治市的KMC公司提出一种新型可倾瓦轴承,它取代传统的多部件支点结构,代之以一种整体的挠性支撑结构,以便消除磨损和高的接触应力。KMC Flexure Pivot(挠曲支点)可倾瓦轴承的特色是中心支承的支撑结构,它挠曲形成收敛楔,而不是像传统支点可倾瓦的摆动件。消除了瓦块的颤动以及与传统支点可倾瓦轴承有关的制动,新设计在消除支点磨损和接触应力时,提供了低的横向联接和高的 According to “Turbomachinery Internationai” from January to February 1993, KMC Corporation of West Greenwich, Rhode Island, USA proposed a new type of tilting pad bearing which replaces the traditional multi-component fulcrum structure and replaces it with a The overall flexible support structure to eliminate wear and high contact stress. KMC Flexure Pivot tilting pad bearings feature a centrally supported support structure that flexes into a converging wedge instead of the swinging piece of a traditional fulcrum tilting pad. Elimination of shivering of the pad and braking associated with traditional fulcrum tilting pad bearings provides a low lateral coupling and a high degree of freedom when eliminating fulcrum wear and contact stress
