Flooded Lubrication Tilting Pad Thrust Bearings
Kingsbury thrust-pad flooded lubrication bearing designs are the result of over 100 years of actual field application.
Kingsbury thrust-pad flooded-lubrication bearings are the result of over 100 years of engineering, testing, and actual field application.
Flooded hydrodynamic bearings, which are typically split for assembly around a rotating shaft, float the machine's axial load on a self-renewing film of oil. The oil film provides shock absorption and helps to control vibration.
Kingsbury flooded thrust pad bearings are used in many different applications including:
- Generators
- Turbines (steam, hydraulic, and gas)
- Pumps (dredge, deep well, boiler feed and cooling types)
- Compressors
- Electric motors
