English term or phrase: bearing span
Description d'une turbine à vapeur:

The steam turbine is based on a three- casing design configuration with separate High Pressure, Intermediate Pressure and Low Pressure sections. This reduces ****bearing spans**** for tighter clearances and delivers sealing control between the sections to reduce leakage flows, helping improve efficiency compared with prior technologies.

The low-pressure section is designed to share the same hood and ****bearing span**** for both the cooling tower and air-cooled condenser configurations.

agree  GILLES MEUNIER: c'est bien 'portée entre' car on parle aussi d'écartement entre paliers pour bearing span

pas "entre paliers", mais "des paliers".
Une turbine à gaz à une chambre unique aurait besoin de paliers beaucoup plus grands.

"What does bearing span mean?
Bearing span is basically the surface area of the inner ring on which the rotor rotates ."

"tor tighter clearances" implique qu'il s'agit du palier lui-même, pas de la portée entre paliers.

disagree  Daniel Marquis: Non, car il s'agit de la DISTANCE entre paliers. La portée d'un palier en soi ne signifie rien. Désolé de jouer les trouble-fête.
