Design and Operation of EMP-Segments

本文简述了弹性金属塑料推力轴承瓦（以下简称塑料瓦）的由来及其与钨金瓦的对比优势。列举了我国部分塑料瓦的技术数据、运行情况、出现的问题与原因以及须注意的新问题。说明了有关塑料瓦的几项值得探讨的问题，最后。

This paper briefly introduces the reason of appearance and relative advantages of elastic metallic plastic thrust bearing segments (EMP-segments) in contrast with babbitt-metal segments. It enumerates for a part of EMP-segments in China the technical data, the state of operation, problems having emerged and their causes, and those needing attention. It explains some questions needing exploration and discussion with regard to EMP-segments. At the end, the writer appeals for using China-made EMPsegments.
