Abstract: Combibearing is a combined thrustjournal bearing design used in vertical hydropower rotors. The dynamic characteristics of this component (combibearing) were analytically modeled by Luneno et al. (2011, “Model Based ...

Abstract: The dynamic characteristics of the combibearing (combined thrustjournal bearing) in vertical rotor systems were analytically modeled and experimentally verified in the authors’ previous publications. An angular misalignment, ...
