WinGD X35-B - Main; Main Bearing; Main Bearing (Generic)

5.1.2 Main bearing
The main bearings hold the crankshaft (007, Figure 5-2) and transmit the forces through the
bearing girders (008) into the bedplate.
The bottom bearing shell (006) is installed in the bearing girder (008) of the bedplate and the
top bearing shell (004) in the bearing cover (003). The screws (005) engage and hold the top
bearing shell and bottom bearing shell in position. The spring dowel pin (009) helps to get the
bearing cover (003) in position.
The elastic studs (001) have a non-hardening locking compound applied to the threads.
Hydraulic tension is applied to the elastic studs during the install procedure. The round nuts
(002) keep the bearing cover (003) against the bearing girder.
Oil flows from the bedplate through the oil inlet (011) to the main bearings. The oil flows through
the grooves (012) and bores to the running surface of the main bearing.
