I got a 600 mm bore bearing with 8 segments, and measuring the clearance forcing the shaft against the pads with a jack with 1 Tn pressure, the values are out of clearance, the clearance is 0,50 mm for a speed 1270 rpm... i know there is a correction number to correct the value you read.. does somebody know this number for 8 segments tilting pads.... and if you know some document i could read to get more info?
