Tiltpad Journal Bearings page title

13 inch Thurst Bearing Reduced Temperature Design Features for High Speed and High Load Applications:

Precision ground and hand lapped spherical pivots.

Offset pivots for increased load capacity.

Babbitted chrome-copper pads for superior heat dissipation.
RMT Patented behind the pad By-Pass Cooling for additional heat removal.

RMT Patented Oil Inlet Spray Bar Blockers for increased effectiveness of cool inlet oil.

Blocker bars also greatly reduce hot oil carryover from pad to pad thereby reducing operating temperatures by as much as 20%.

Open end seals to allow hot oil to easily escape from the bearing housing.
