Kingsbury, Inc. PEEK Thrust Bearings

For unusually harsh applications Kingsbury can help you find a solution. One such technology is a fluid film thrust or journal bearing with an engineered plastic surface for use in process-lubricated applications. Bearings made with this tough, dimensionally stable material were designed specifically to replace the now obsolete asbestos-based bearings found in boiler re-circulation and submersible pumps. Kingsbury's advanced bearing pad material is environmentally friendly and can operate directly in water, process fluid or oil. The new material provides excellent resistance to chemical attack and exhibits superior wear characteristics, including the ability to tolerate dry start conditions.
