| Abstract: | | 1. |
Modified wood is an effective substitute of the laminated wood lining of bearing bushings for vertical pump units.
| | 2. |
An investigation of modified wood showed that this material in some indices (friction coefficient and wear resistance) is better than laminated wood.
| | 3. |
Since there is no mass manufacture and centralized supply of modified wood, it is possible to create a technological department for its production.
| | 4. |
Organization of the department does not require capital expenditures and special accommodations.
| | 5. |
Machining of the wood is performed on ordinary metal-cutting machines with the use of the tools used when machining laminated woods.
