In the world of high-speed rotating machinery—such as Gas Turbines, Centrifugal Compressors, and Multi stage Pumps—the bearing is the most critical point of interface. We provide world-class hydrodynamic bearing solutions engineered to support massive loads while eliminating friction and vibration in the most demanding industrial environments.
Our portfolio features the industry-standard Tilting-Pad technology, designed to provide self-aligning stability and superior thermal management for Qatar’s Oil & Gas, LNG, and Power sectors.
Available Range:
- Advanced Thrust Bearings
- Leading-Edge Groove (LEG) Technology: Our advanced designs incorporate direct lubrication technology that cools the bearing at the point of contact.
- The Benefit:Reduces power loss by up to 45% and lowers operating temperatures by nearly 30°C, significantly extending the life of the lubricant.
- Equalizing Systems: Features a mechanical leveling link system that automatically compensates for shaft misalignment, ensuring that the load is distributed perfectly across all pads.
- Precision Journal Bearings
- Tilting-Pad Journal Bearings: Provide optimum damping and stiffness, allowing turbines and compressors to operate safely at supercritical speeds.
- Babbitt (White Metal) Lining: Utilizing high-grade Babbitt alloys to provide excellent embeddability, protecting the shaft from damage by microscopic contaminants.
- Specialized Slide Bearings (Plain Bearings)
- Hydrodynamic Design: Designed to eliminate direct metal-to-metal contact, significantly reducing friction and noise in Electric Motors, Generators, and Ship Propulsion systems.
- Vertical & Horizontal Configurations: Specialized bearing housings (including D-Type and SM-Type) are tailored for high radial and axial loads in marine and land-based power plants.
- Material Excellence: Available with advanced Babbitt (White Metal) or PTFE-faced pads to handle the thermal expansion and high-load cycles of modern turbines.
- Specialty Materials for Extreme Conditions
- Chrome Copper Backing: Enhances thermal conductivity to dissipate heat faster in high-load scenarios.
- Polymer-Faced Pads (PEEK): Ideal for process-lubricated applications or environments where temperatures exceed the limits of traditional Babbitt.
Designed to handle axial loads with maximum efficiency, these bearings utilize a series of individual pads that "tilt" to create a high-pressure oil wedge.
For high-speed rotors where stability is paramount, our journal bearings are engineered to eliminate "oil whirl" and "oil whip" instabilities.
Unlike standard rolling bearings, our Slide Bearings utilize a lubricating film to support rotating shafts, offering unmatched durability for continuous-duty machinery.
To meet the challenges of the Arabian Gulf's high ambient temperatures and corrosive environments, we offer specialized material configurations:
