Bearing Housing
Description
The bearing housing assembly, illustrated below, provides the means of
support for the main shaft of the revolving thruster. The bearing housing is oil
filled to enable pressurisation from the main pressure compensator assembly.
Assembly
An exploded view of the encoder is illustrated in Drawing 1443-01-103-ASS,
which can be found on the following page. This drawing provides a
representation of the main parts that make up the assembly, and the way in
which they fit together.
When ordering any replacement parts, please quote the assembly drawing
number, revision, and title, followed by the item number and description of
the part you wish to order.
Maintenance
Check for any oil leaks before and after system use. Any excess air in the
assembly can be bled from the top drain plug whilst maintaining oil pressure
from the main compensator assembly. Refer to Compensator section for
instruction on system oil pressurisation.
