• Sleeve bearings in moderate service can operate on 50% or less of the oil feed required for a full hydrodynamic oil film. • Lower oil-feed rates mean engineers can simplify oil-delivery systems. • ...
• Large bearings need help to generate a lubricating oil film at low speeds. • Pockets in journal and thrust bearings supplied with pressurized lubricant provide hydraulic lift. • Optimize pocket ...
Peer-reviewed research by Thordon Bearings into the hydrodynamic lubrication efficiency of a ship’s propeller shaft bearing has found that the use of seawater-lubricated elastomeric polymer bearings ...
