Abstract
A cylindrical trunnion having a cooperating bearing that supports the rotor of a vertically disposed rotary regenerative air preheater. The trunnion has a high section modulus that is adapted to resist bending, while the support bearing therefor is adapted to be carried on independent support structure that resists axial and lateral movement. The bearing may be adjusted axially with respect to the support structure to raise the rotor from its support bearing, while a unique correlation of jacking means and independent shims permits removal of the bearing for replacement or repair.
