0.2 to 0.25 mm
Thrust pads are used to protect the steam turbine rotor from damage due to axial displacement due to axial thrust created by entry of steam in the turbine. generaly the pads clearence is 0.45mm for a bearing size 250mm.
axial shift of a steam turbine is the shifting of turbine rotor in the forward and backward direction due to steam thrust on blades of rotor.
it's the thermal expansion in the casing of hp or ip turbine can be noticed by journal or thrust bearing when moving <<
becouse this steam is use repetdly for the turbine

Steam turbine nozzle clearance is the total energy content available in steam. This is through a valve.
Thrust pads are used to protect the steam turbine rotor from damage due to axial displacement due to axial thrust created by entry of steam in the turbine. generaly the pads clearence is 0.45mm for a bearing size 250mm.
The thrust pads will be there at the front or non drive end of the turbine side....These are usually used to limit the axial displacement of the rotor( Means to minimize the movement of rotor axially in order to maintain the axial clearance between the moving blades and the fixed blades of steam turbine rotor).....
axial shift of a steam turbine is the shifting of turbine rotor in the forward and backward direction due to steam thrust on blades of rotor.
for thrust balancing.
it is used balance axial thrust on turbine rotor due to admitting of high pressure steam in to turbine. it basic purpose is to save thrust bearing.
main two type of bearing used in steam turbine:(1)thrust bearing (2)general bearing
Thrust bearings are mounted on turbines at or near the end of the shaft, closest to the steam chest (or inlet). This is to maintain the shaft in position with the casing of the turbine, allowing the casing and the shaft to expand evenly together toward the drive end of the turbine.
it's the thermal expansion in the casing of hp or ip turbine can be noticed by journal or thrust bearing when moving <<
Dummy piston is provided to oppose the axial thrust generated (in the direction of steam) due to incoming steam.
Why extractions are taken out from steam turbine.
becouse this steam is use repetdly for the turbine
