Horizontal thrust bearings – Ingrained reliability to the micrometer.
Horizontal thrust and support bearings for withstanding strong radial and axial forces.
Maximizing your plant’s availability was our benchmark when developing our innovative support bearings. Depending on the type, the bearing housings are available as pedestal, center flange (type SM) or saddle bearings. Operate them either with self-lubrication or with external lubricant supply. Some examples of our product lines:
- Our SN, D- and L-Series bearings are the choice for conventional marine drives with shaft line and hydro turbines and generators
- The SC line is designed as pedestal bearings and can support moderate axial forces in addition to high radial forces.
- Our SM series are specially designed for use as engine bearings in marine applications or as generator bearings in hydro applications.
