Claims16
1-15. (canceled)
A steam turbine, particularly having a mechanical power rating of up to 500 kW for powering an apparatus, comprising:
- a shaft;
- a steam inlet;
- a first radial flow wheel torque-resistantly connected to the shaft at a first end of the shaft so as to be impinged with steam via the steam inlet, wherein, for a radial inflow of the steam onto the first radial flow wheel, the steam inlet is disposed from the outside to the inside;
- and
- a second radial flow wheel torque-resistantly connected to the shaft at a second end of the shaft opposite to the first end of the shaft.
2 more elements
An apparatus for supporting a shaft, particularly a shaft having a rated speed in excess of 50,000 revolutions per minute, comprising:
- a shaft;
- two planetary gear sets that comprise, respectively, stationary rotationally supported planetary gears with a smooth, cylinder-shaped surface in a circumferential direction for supporting the shaft;
- and
- a hollow shaft that is supported on the planetary gear sets.
