An uplift spring assembly to compensate for hull deflection at a main bearing of a mooring turret is disclosed. Elastomeric pads are used to react turret uplift because of their properties of large deflections and resistance to cold weather. Tie rods are provided to transmit the uplift loads into the elastomeric pads. The elastomeric pads react the uplift loads in compression. The assembly arrangement prevents the elastomeric pads from reacting tension loads.

Um conjunto da mola do uplift a compensar para a deflexão do hull em um rolamento principal de uma torreta da amarração é divulgado. As almofadas elastomeric são usadas reagir o uplift da torreta por causa de suas propriedades de deflexões e da resistência grandes ao tempo frio. As hastes de laço são fornecidas para transmitir as cargas do uplift nas almofadas elastomeric. As almofadas elastomeric reagem as cargas do uplift na compressão. O arranjo do conjunto impede que as almofadas elastomeric reajam cargas da tensão.
