Polymer Coated Tilt Pad Thrust Bearings

Polymer coated tilting pad bearings have been successfully used in applications where conventional babbitted tilting pad bearings have fallen short. The polymer coating is impregnated with bearing grade materials to improve self-lubrication and heat dissipation. The patented pad pivot design allows much higher load capacity than any conventional thrust bearing design. Laboratory testing has been performed to determine the load and temperature capacity. Excellent embedability and anti-galling properties in comparison to nonbabbitted bearing grade materials such as bronze and aluminum.

Typical Applications

• Downhole Pumps - High Load and High Temperature Operation
• Gas Turbines - Withstand Heat Stoke Without Post Lube
• High Speed and Temperature With Limited Oil Cooling
• Process Liquid Lubricated or Process Fluid Diluted Lubricant Machines
• Machines with Sump or Non-Circulating Lubrication
