RMT's Tilting Pad Journal Bearings are among the most efficient, highest quality, most reliable in the industry today. The bearings we manufacture provide:

Precision ground and hand lapped spherical pivots.

Ensures perfect pad-to-journal alignment, preventing pad edge loading due to misalignment for increased damping and vibration suppression.

Maintains high pivot stiffness values for increased damping and vibration suppression.

Provides low pivot stresses for minimal pivot wear and prevention of direct housing wear or fretting for increased damping and vibration suppression

Thin babbitted bronze pads.

Offers greater heat dissipation resulting in reduced bearing operating temperatures.

Increases babbitt life by reducing babbitt fatigue.

Minimizes possible shaft damage from loss of babbitt or lubricant.

Precision machined pad bores for accurate pad preload.

Achieves the specified bearing dynamic stiffness and damping properties for increased shaft vibration attenuation.

Oil inlet spray bars and open end seals for high load, high speed applications.

Reduces bearing operating temperatures by as much as 15%.
