Product Introduction
Taper-land Thrust Bearing is a high-performance sliding bearing used in large rotating equipment. It reduces metal-to-metal contact, friction and wear, and improves equipment operational stability by forming a stable oil film between the tapered thrust bearing and the thrust disc.
Product Structure & Working Principle
Thrust Pad: The thrust pad uses a high-strength metal substrate covered with a Babbitt alloy working layer. The conical structure optimizes lubricant flow, allowing the oil film to form quickly and remain stable, improving load-bearing capacity.
Bearing Housing: The bearing housing provides overall support and precise positioning, ensuring stable operation of the thrust pad, reducing operating vibration, and improving equipment reliability.
Babbitt Alloy Lining: Babbitt alloy has excellent wear resistance and embedding properties, reducing frictional damage, protecting the thrust disc surface, and extending bearing life.
Lubrication System: Lubricating oil enters between the thrust pad and the thrust disc, forming an oil film through rotation, isolating metal-to-metal contact, reducing friction and temperature rise.
