Product Introduction
Tilting Pad Thrust Bearings are fluid sliding bearings used in large rotating equipment. They utilize a stable oil film formed between the tilting pads and the thrust disc to withstand axial loads, reducing friction, wear, and vibration.
Product Structure and Working Principle
Tilting Pad: Employs an independent pad design, automatically adjusting its angle according to operating conditions to form a uniform oil film, optimizing load distribution and improving load-bearing capacity.
Thrust Bearing Housing: Manufactured from high-strength metal materials, providing stable support for the bearing assembly and ensuring installation accuracy and long-term operational reliability.
Babbitt Lining Layer: The working surface is made of Babbitt alloy, possessing excellent wear resistance and anti-galling properties, reducing operational wear and extending service life.
Lubrication System: Forms a stable oil film through lubrication, reducing metal-to-metal contact, lowering friction and temperature rise, and improving equipment operating efficiency.
Core Advantages
High Axial Load Capacity: The tilting pad structure automatically adjusts the stress state, ensuring uniform load distribution, reducing localized pressure, improving bearing load-bearing stability, and meeting the long-term operating requirements of large rotating equipment.
Stable Oil Film Performance: Hydrodynamic lubrication forms a continuous oil film, effectively reducing friction, vibration, and operating temperature rise, improving the operational reliability of high-speed equipment.
Superior Wear Resistance: Utilizes a wear-resistant Babbitt alloy working layer to enhance wear and impact resistance, extend bearing life, and reduce equipment maintenance costs.
Heavy-Duty Reliability: Optimized structural design suitable for high-load, continuous operation, meeting the application needs of industries such as power, oil and gas, and marine.
