Best Answer

Thrust bearings are a type of rotary bearing designed to support a high axial load while allowing movement between two parts. There are many types of thrust bearings, but they are typically used for automotive assemblies, particularly in wheel hubs and manual transmissions.

Why the turbine trip in thrust bearing metal temperature high?

To keep from damaging the thrust bearing if the lubrication system fails to cool it sufficiently. The surfaces of thrust and journal bearings is a metal called babbit. Babbit metal is an alloy of tin, lead, copper and antimony, typically. This metal has a high "lubricity" value (meaning it is slippery) and oil is used to create a wedge or film, to stabilize the shaft in position, which decreases as the oil gets hotter. Babbit will also melt at low temperatures, so temperature trips are in place on each bearing to prevent damaging them.
