Types of Journal Bearings We Offer
- Plain Journal Bearings: Best for general-purpose applications, and offer reliable support and smooth shaft rotation with minimal complexity.
- Hydrodynamic Journal Bearings: Designed to operate with a full fluid film, to reduce metal-to-metal contact, and ensure low friction at high speeds.
- Hydrostatic Journal Bearings: Use an external lubrication system to maintain a consistent oil film, which is perfect for heavy loads and low-speed operations.
- Split Journal Bearings: Easy to install and maintain, these are commonly used in large industrial machinery where disassembly is challenging.
- Tilting Pad Journal Bearings: Engineered for high-speed and high-load applications, which provide better stability and reduce vibration.
- Babbitt-Lined Bearings: Feature a soft metal lining for improved conformability, embeddability, and extended service life
