Kingsbury combined flange-mounted, horizontal equalizing thrust bearings and journal bearings with a remote journal bearing, and a self-contained lubrication system.

The CH System is unique because it is completely self-contained and equalizing. It eliminates the need for an electric motor/pump, emergency pump, accumulator, rundown tank or other special arrangements for oil lubrication.

Since no separate lubrication system is required, the cost savings are significant. System lubrication is autonomous, provided by a viscosity pump driven by shaft rotation. This pump consists of the combination of a built-in mechanical oil circulator and a rotating collar, which draws oil up from the sump as soon as the shaft begins to rotate.

The Kingsbury CH system is integrated, reliable and cost efficient, making it ideal for installation on larger pumps.
