Tapered Land Thrust Bearing

Tapered land thrust bearings find use in mid to large sized high speed machines such as turbines compressors and pumps.

Tapered land thrust bearing.

Tapered land thrust bearing with single or compound tapers and uni or bi directions. In most designs a flat land extends an additional 10 to 20 of the. Thrust bearings are usually classified as fixed geometry or tilting pad. The surfaces of the pads and the thrust collar are in parallel by design.

Tapered land thrust bearing there are three basic types of hydrodynamic thrust bearings used in industrial rotating machinery. For applications with low thrust loads limited space and negligible misalignment bearings plus designs and supplies thrust plates with simple or compound taper land faces. The dam shroud can be present at inner and outer diameters for the taper land. Figure 1 shows a simple flat land fixed geometry bearing.

Rayleigh step thrust bearing with uni or bi directions. Our extensive offering of tapered roller bearing combi nations provides equipment builders and operators simple reliable and less costly. The flat land bearing is the simplest design formed from a washer shaped plate with radial grooves to channel fluid to the bearing surface see image 3. Constitution plural tapered lands 14 being successively made up in the circumferential direction of a sliding bearing surface 12 are.

Due to the lack of obvious converging wedge this bearing is only suitable to carry a light thrust load 0 5 mpa or 75 psi. Depending on size and predicted bearing temperatures under the designed load and oil viscosity thrust plate bearing materials can include babbitt copper bronze and polymer. Tapered land bearings use lubricating oil to provide additional thrust load capacity where it is necessary. Tapered roller bearings tapered roller bear ings are uniquely designed to manage both thrust and radial loads and are available in single and multi row designs with a wide range of assembly options.

Tapered land bearings are ideal for use in mid to large sized high speed machines and thrive on consistency. The source of its load carrying capacity was extensively. Pad crown can be present and modeled for the tilting pad thrust bearing particularly when the pivot is centrally located.
