What prevents the thrust bearing blocks shown in the illustration from rotating within the housing? Illustration MO-0120 |
A) The bearing blocks are massive and their weight provides sufficient force to prevent rotation. |
B) Found within the thrust bearing cap or cover are extended protrusions to position the thrust shoe segments and maintain minimum clearance. |
C) The bearing assembly is specifically designed to allow for rotation, permitting the transmittal of axial forces across a greater surface area and minimizing loading densities. |
D) The thrust shoes are dovetailed into the collar. |
