MR-Bearing for Pumps
MR-Bearing for Pumps
Although they do not allow start-up without injecting water, these submerged bearings are the most stable if there is water prior to start-up.
These bearings can be provided at a lower cost compared to FF-Bearing.
They have produced steady results, as they have been used for long periods in pumps with high specifications at thermal and nuclear power plants.
Main Usages of MR-Bearing for Pumps
Circulating water pumps for nuclear and thermal power plants, machine cooling seawater pumps, screen wash pumps, desalination plants, flood control pumps, water and sewage intake and drainage pumps, agricultural water pumps, etc.
Plants by Purpose
Water and sewage, Thermal power generation, IWPP (Saline water conversion), Geothermal power generation, Gas storage system, Nuclear power plant, Petrochemical complex, Agricultural water / River water intake, Hydropower
Characteristics of MR-Bearing for Pumps
-
No Damage to the Shaft and Sleeve
Even if sand or pebbles fall between the shaft and the rubber bearings, the lubricating water expels the debris along the ridge as the shaft rotates. At out company, we implement designs with rubber that take advantage of these properties.
-
Low Power Loss
In general, wet rubber and metals have properties of sliding very well. At our company, we pay attention to these characteristics and implement designs with rubber that have a low coefficient of friction.
-
Low Wear
Wear resistance is better compared to lignum vitae. There is an example of rubber bearings being used for over 10 years in a situation where lignum vitae had to be replaced every several months.
-
Swelling resistance
We use a rubber with excellent swelling resistance that does not cause hydrolysis.
