These bearings direct oil from an opening in the base ring, to the leading edge of the shoes, and onto the moving surfaces of the bearing. With this method, just enough oil is applied to enable the bearing run smoothly. The key benefits of directed lubrication technology are:
Reliable operation with lower oil flow requirements
Dramatically reduced bearing power losses
Much lower operating temperatures
Significantly increased load capacity
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 hydrodynamic journal bearings can operate indefinitely.
Kingsbury's hydrodynamic journal bearings are available in fixed profile styles or tilting pad designs, and operate with flooded lubrication or directed lubrication systems. Our hydrodynamic journal technology is utilized in high-speed turbine bearing, generator, pump, compressor and gear drive applications for power generation, oil and gas, and general industry.
