Bearing Lift
Bearing lift pumps provide the necessary high pressure “jacking oil” to lift the turbine generator shafts within the sleeve bearings on horizontal machines and to the lower thrust bearing of a vertical turbine prior to starting the rotation of the hydro turbines.
Crescent Internal Gears are a common choice here for their low initial cost and superb reliability.
