5.6.13 High-stage Bearing Head and Main Bearings
The side surface of the bearing head
【
11-2
】
where the rotor is attached has a gas discharge port
which is determined based on the compressor's operating conditions.
This discharge port affects the performance of the compressor.
The bearing head also has a main bearing which supports one end of the rotor.
5.6.13.1 Disassembly
a) Remove all the hexagon socket head cap screws
【
2-2
】
that fasten the casing and bearing head.
Drive an alignment pins
【
3-2
】
into the rotor casing.
b) Tap the bearing head with a hammer at its leg portion to peel up the bearing head gasket
【
12-2
】
.
If the gasket is stuck fast, screw the hexagon socket head cap screws
【
2-2
】
(which have been
removed) into the holes on the rotor casing and then push the gasket (in the same way as with the
suction cover).
As the rotor has been removed, this work will be easy.
c) The main bearing
【
27-2
】
is gently press-fit to the bearing head.
To take out the main bearing, remove the stop ring
【
29-2
】
and tap the rotor side.
d) The unloader slide valve is incorporated into the high-stage of the 2016**C. Draw it toward the
bearing head and out.
e) The guide block
【
87-2
】
and guide block stem
【
88-2
】
of the unloader slide valve are screwed from
under the rotor casing. When there is no problem, they need not be disassembled unless otherwise
specified.

5.6.13.2 Inspection
a) Check the bearing surface of the main bearing
【
27-2
】
which is attached inside. If hard pieces of
dirt are embedded in the inner surface or white metal gets worn, replace the part.
b) Check the rotor-side surface where discharge port is provided. If there is a defect such as damage,
correct it. If the entire surface is severely damaged, the thrust bearing is faulty or the end clearance
is adjusted improperly.
Damages can also be caused by dirt in the piping. Make a thorough check by referring to the
description about assembly.
c) Check for wear of the sliding portion of the unloader slide valve, guide block on the casing's outer
circumference, and the guide groove.
If the wear is excessive, the rotor and slide valve are hitting against each other, which will cause the
rotor outer circumference to get worn. Measures should be taken to protect the outer circumference
from wear. Please contact us.
