Redesign of the guide bearings of 52V-11 pumps in golodnostepsk pumping stations

The design of a guide bearing with rubberized self-aligning segments is described. The possibility is examined of producing a rubber coating, a lower shaft seal and a stop seal under operating conditions. Recommendations are made for the introduction of guide bearings with rubberized segments (based on the results of full-scale tests on two experimental bearings).
