1. Scope and field of application

This document deals with methods recommended by MAN Energy Solutions for measuring the
bearing loads of the engine main bearings, the intermediate shaft bearing(s) and forward stern
tube bearing, in static condition by means of the jack-up method.
The recommendation is intended for use in connection with final alignment of the engine and sub-
sequent checking of the bearing loads in connection with commissioning of the engine. Reference
is made to the MAN B&W Quality Specification No 0743547-3; Final Alignment of Engine On Board.
The recommendation also applies when checking the bearing loads in service.

3. Tools
3.1. Hydraulic jack

For jacking the engine bearings, it is recommended to use the hydraulic jack intended for lifting
the crankshaft when overhauling the main bearings. Please refer to the engine instruction book,
section 2565. However, only one jack is to be used. The pressure area of the jack is found by
disassembling the jack and measuring both hydraulic diameters.

A= (Refer to ﬁgure 1)

Page 4 of 24
Figure 1:
If other types of jacks are used (e.g. for jacking the intermediate shaft bearing(s) or the aftmost
engine bearing), it is important to measure the correct piston diameter D, which is often not the
diameter that protrudes from the top of the jack. If the maximum pressure and maximum lifting
capacity is known, the pressure area A can be estimated as follows:
D² × π Maximum load (L) × 982

A= or A=
4 Maximum Pressure (P) (Refer to ﬁgure 2)
The jack should not be larger than necessary, as the accuracy of the pressure gauge is better in
the higher pressure range.

3.2. Hydraulic pump

Any pump with an accurate pressure gauge (in bar) and good quality needle valve and pressure
adjustment device is usable. The pump for hydraulic bolt tightening (900 or 1500 bar) is usually
suitable, refer to figure 3.

Dial gauges (clock gauges): Ordinary dial gauges with 0.01 mm. resolution and adjustable mount-
ing on magnetic foot are recommended. If available, a gauge with remote readout is preferable.
The tool for checking the piston alignment/inclination (available from MAN Energy Solutions but
not included in the maintenance tool set) is suitable for the work. In some cases, more than one
gauge is necessary (bearings with very low load).

Jack-up measuring sheet and PC based spreadsheet for data analysis are available from MAN
Energy Solutions Production Support free of charge (E-mail: ProductionSupportDK@man-es.com)
and are recommended as the output is standardized. MAN Energy Solutions offers consultancy
services. Refer to appendix 1 and 2.

5. Preparation
Before commencing the jack-up work on engine bearings, the following should be checked (see
Jack up measuring sheet, appendix 1):
Top and bottom clearances (if any) of the 2 aftmost engine bearings: It is important to check
the bearing bottom clearance using a 0.05 mm feeler gauge (Kjaer type) compare with the
shop test report. If bottom clearance is present, it is important to measure it as accurately as
possible. Jacking up of this specified bearing is then unnecessary, as action must be taken
first to restore the bearing load. Please contact MAN Energy Solutions if this is the case.
Crankshaft deflection of the aftmost crankweb
Temperatures of: Thrust bearing (large thermometer outside crankcase), jacket cooling wa-
ter, seawater, air outside, bottom tank(s) below the engine

Figure 5:
Select a suitable jack for the purpose – the jack specified for jacking up the crankshaft is useable,
but any multi-purpose jack can be used, see section 3.
Place the jack below the turning wheel on a ridged foundation, jacking between 2 teeth using the
special lifting tool. Take care to align the jack carefully, as it only tolerates a small moment and
angle deviation.
Note! Poor alignment creates more friction in the jack, which then causes more hysteresis in
the jacking curves. Refer to description Section 7
Place the measuring device (dial gauge) on the bearing support in one of the shown positions and
measure the vertical movement of the shaft or the turning wheel.
Important: Do not place the measuring device between the jack support and the turning wheel
as the result will be incorrect.

Page 9 of 24
5.2. Measuring the aftmost engine bearing but one (aftmost main bearing)
Refer to figure 6 (applies to measuring any engine bearing except the aftmost).
Turn the crankweb in horizontal position towards the exhaust side. Place the jack specified in the
instruction book (Section 905) on the jack-up beam supplied in the maintenance tool set. Use only
one jack, and place it under the crankweb adjacent to the bearing to be measured.
Place the dial gauge on the main bearing cap and measure the crankweb vertical movement.
Important: do not place the measuring device between the jack-up beam and the crankweb as
the result will be incorrect.
Maximum lift of the crankshaft during jack-up is not to exceed the top-clearance of the engine
bearings.

Measuring the generator bearing(s)
The placing of jacks depends on the actual design but the method is similar to the above de-
scribed, jack-position should be described in the “shaft alignment calculation report”. Due to the
lower bearing loads of these bearings, the jack selected for the purpose may be smaller than for
the main bearings.

6. Measuring sheet and format

It is recommended to use the preprinted measuring sheet shown in Appendix 1 in order to collect
all essential information, and to facilitate consultant service from MAN Energy Solutions if needed.
The sheet is available free of charge together with analysis spreadsheet (Excel based) and pianow-
ire analysis software (for checking the bedplate alignment).

Page 11 of 24
7. Measurement
Due to the unavoidable friction in the hydraulic jack, the hydraulic pressure corresponding to a
specific load will be higher during lifting than during lowering. This phenomenon is referred to as
”hysteresis” (an electrical engineering term). Therefore, the load is close to measured during both
lifting and lowering, and the corresponding curve is drawn. The correct (frictionless) curve is in the
center between the 2 curves drawn. Refer to figure 8.

Figure 8:
Due to the hysteresis phenomenon, it is very important that the pressure is increased steadily dur-
ing ”upwards” measurement and decreased steadily during ”downwards” measurement.
It is recommended to take readings with 10 - 50 bar intervals of pressure, and at least in 15 steps.
Note! Corresponding values of pressure and lift (the pressure gauge actual reading is noted
– not the intended pressure). Jack up until the bearing top clearance is close to zero
(top clearance to be measured before starting). It is important to have many measuring
points in the lower range (0 - 0.2 mm).
If the bearing load is zero or very low, it may be difficult to analyse the data. In this case, it is rec-
ommended to place 2 (3) dial gauges: One (1) on the journal bearing jacked and one (1) on each of
the adjacent journals. Using a finer calibrated pressure gauge and steps of 10 bar is also recom-
mended. Refer to figure 6 (2 dial gauges)

Page 12 of 24
8. Analysis of jack-up curves

The plotted points are to be connected and normally several straight lines will occur with different
slopes. See figure 9. Each time the slope changes it means that the support of the shaft system
has changed.

Figure 9:
8.1. Explanation to figure 9

Break Point:
No 0: All the load is in the bearing and no load is in the hydraulic jack.
No 1: All the load is now shifted to the jack and the bearing is fully released from the load.
No 2: The load in the jack is now so high that the second bearing is fully released from the load.
No 3: Represent the point in which the jacked journal has been lifted so high that the top clear-
ance of the jacked bearing has been eliminated and the journal is now touching the upper
shell of the bearing.

Page 13 of 24
Line:
No 1: There is load in the bearing and load in the hydraulic jack. With increasing pressure the
load is shifted from the bearing to the jack.
No 2: With increasing pressure the jack load is increased and simultaneously the second bearing
with load will start to be off loaded.
No 3: With increasing pressure the jack load is increased and simultaneously the third bearing
with load will start to be off loaded.
No 4: With increasing pressure the journal does not elevate much because the upper shell of the
bearing prevents more lift.
Due to the internal friction in the hydraulic jack, there will be some difference between the cor-
responding values for increasing and decreasing loads, i.e. the plotting will show two branches
(hysteresis). Refer to figure 9.
The jack load reaction (Rj) is the force that would be necessary to keep the shaft in its posi-
tion if the bearing was not present.
In order to determine the reaction (Rj) two straight lines through the plotted points of the above
mentioned Line No 2 are to be drawn.
8.2. Analysis line

No 1: Is a line through the increasing points of the above-mentioned line No 2.
No 2: Is a line through the decreasing points of the above-mentioned line No 2.
Analysis line No 1 and No 2 are to have approximately the same slope. Refer to figure 8.
(Ra) is the reaction of the Analysis line No 1 at a lift of 0 mm

(Rd) is the reaction of the Analysis line No 2 at a lift of 0 mm
The jack load reaction, Rj = 0.5 (Ra + Rd)
The bearing reaction R is a little different from the Rj as the jack is not positioned at the centre of
the bearing.
The bearing reaction, R = C × Rj

Page 14 of 24
8.2.1. Correction factor

As the jack cannot be placed directly under the journal, a correction factor C is used to compen-
sate for this.
The actual correction factor C can be found in the “Shaft alignment calculation report” (normally
not supplied by MAN Energy Solutions). However, as a rough guideline the following values can
be used:
Aftmost engine bearing, jack under the turning wheel: C = 1.450

Aftmost but one engine bearing: C = 0.850
Aftmost but two engine bearing: C = 0.900
Again, please note that the above correction values are for guidance only and the correct values
should be used from the “Shaft alignment calculation report” for final alignment.
As Rj is calculated as:
Consequently the bearing reaction is calculated (see section 4) as formulas (in ton):
P×A
Rj =
982
The bearing reaction,
P×A×C
R=
982
8.3. How to determine Analysis line No 1 and No 2

The aim with the analyse is to find the analyses line No 1 and No 2 i.e. to find out when the shaft
in the bearing in question is lifted out.
8.3.1. Stern tube bearing and intermediate shaft bearing(s)

It is normally quite easy to determine the analyses line No 1 and No 2 for the two above types
of bearing because the distances to other bearings are often so long that other bearings will not
influence the jack-up curves.
The Break Point No 1 will often appear between 0.05 mm and 0.25 mm lift depending of the dis-
tance between the jack and the centre of the bearing. Refer to figure 10 as an example.

Page 15 of 24
8.4. Engine journal bearing
8.4.1. Aftmost engine bearing (journal bearing)

The jack is positioned below the turning wheel when making the jack-up analysis for this bear-
ing.
The Break Point No. 1 will normally appear between 0.03 mm and 0.15 mm lift. Please see figure
11 as an example.

Figure 11:
If the break point appears after 0.25 mm lift it may well be that it is the aftmost but one engine
bearing which is being lifted out and consequently there is no load in the aftmost engine bearing.
In that case, no further jack-up analysis of this bearing can be done until load is established and
a new jack-up test is made.
8.5. Engine main bearings

The jack is positioned below the crank web closest to the bearing, which is to be analysed. The
distance to the centre of the bearing is therefore small and the Break Point No 1 will normally ap-
pear between 0.03 mm and 0.10 mm lift. Refer to figure 12 as an example.
If the break point appears after 0.15 mm lift it may well be that there is no load in the bearing in
question. Refer to figure 13 as an example.
The accuracy of this method depends very much on the circumstances, quality of the data and
equipment, and experience of the operator. Generally, the higher the load, the higher the accuracy.
With high load, an accuracy of 15% can be expected, which is sufficient for most purposes.
