Hydrodynamic Journal Bearings

High-powered industrial machinery utilizes lubricated journal bearings as rotor supports.

Kingsbury designs and manufactures many sizes and styles of hydrodynamic journal bearings. All are engineered to customer specifications and are the result of many years of design refinement and application experience. Properly installed and maintained, Kingsbury journal bearings can operate indefinitely.

Kingsbury’s hydrodynamic journal bearings are available in plain fixed profile styles or tilt-pad designs, and operate with flooded lubrication or directed lubrication systems. Our hydrodynamic journal technology is utilized in high-speed turbine, generator, pump, compressor and gear drive applications for power generation, oil and gas, and general industry.
