OFFSHORE, FLOATING SHEARLEG<br />
Application<br />
On this large floating shearleg the customer changed to direct load measurement by means of load<br />
cells in the pins of the main blocks. Those are difficult to combine with lubrication therefore DRIE-D<br />
was invited to supply maintenance free D-glide bearings for this high load (average bearing pressures<br />
over 120 MPa) application. After removal of the support brackets it was found that the<br />
bronze layer in there had also worn out. In less than a week DRIE-D made bearing segments with<br />
exactly the correct thickness and glued them in the brackets so that now also the brackets no<br />
longer require lubrication. Any other option would have taken much more time and would have<br />
been far more expensive.<br />
Advantages of the D-glide solutions<br />
- maintenance free<br />
- modest demands on the shaft materials<br />
- short delivery time<br />
- low costs<br />
