One of the most important stages in the assembly and repair of the thrust bearing of a turbine-generator unit is adjustment of the load on the segments. The generally accepted method of adjusting the loads between segments in a hydraulic thrust bearing is based on measuring the axial deformation of the elastic chambers of indicators and equalizing it. Here it is assumed that sagging of the chambers is plane-parallel. Certain problems that occurred when lining the bearings with Babbitt segments, for example, a decrease of sagging of the chambers with time from 0.2-0.3 mm to almost zero, i.e., an apparent increase of rigidity of the chambers, compelled doubting this.
