Radial bearings

Explain the importance to remember about the radial bearings?

The two radial bearings provide support to the turbine rotor one on every end of steam cylinder. These bearings should be accurately aligned for managing the close clearance between shaft and shaft seals, and between rotor and casing. In case the excessive bearing wear decreases the he rotor, large harm may be done to the turbine.
