- Operates in oil process fluid or contaminated lubricants
3M™ Hydrodynamic Thrust Bearings are designed for demanding electrical submersible pumps (ESPs). The bearing faces are separated by a fluid film, which minimizes wear and significantly decreases bearing frictional losses. Combat challenging conditions like high shock loads, misalignment, and abrasive lubrication with help from 3M™ Hydrodynamic Thrust Bearings.
3M™ Hydrodynamic Thrust Bearings are made from silicon carbide, a high-strength technical ceramic with excellent resistance to high temperatures, corrosion, and abrasion. The intrinsic strength of this material, coupled with patented spring mount technology, delivers outstanding shock absorption and high load capacity. In addition, 3M technologies maximize load capacity by allowing pads to both tilt at an optimal angle and flex axially, equally distributing thrust load among pads.
Suggested applications
- High shock and wear resistance
- Higher load capacity
- Misalignment handling
