PEEK Bearings
Posted: 24th October 2022
White metal, PTFE and PEEK bearings are all complimentary to one another. Whilst white metal can be considered as the cost effective everyday material, PTFE and PEEK bearings have distinct advantages for more challenging environments. The advantages of PTFE are well documented, but PEEK has high strength and higher temperature resistant a...
PTFE Bearings
Posted: 29th May 2019
Our development of PTFE bearings began in the mid 1990s. Investigative test work established that the material could operate without undue wear and at specific loads, significantly higher than that of white metal bearings, without high pressure oil injection. The ability of the PTFE material to operate safely at minimal oil film thicknesses, allows approximately twice the specific load capa...
Marine Gearbox Internals
Posted: 16th June 2016
Michell Bearings has various products available for use in marine gearbox applications. Where possible we will seek to utilise our standard ranges of bearing internals but bespoke solutions are available if required. This can include special designs of radial bushes with plain or profile bores, special radial tilting pad bearings or specifically designed thrust bearing internals, with or withou...
SE Series
Posted: 16th June 2016
The Self Equalised (SE) Series is a range of equalised thrust bearing internals. The provision of interacting equalising levers behind the thrust pads allows thrust loads to be mechanically equalised across the complete thrust face.
Marine Propulsion Motor
and Generator BearingsPosted: 16th June 2016
Michell Bearings design and manufactures propulsion motor and generator bearings for both naval and commercial marine applications. The Industrial Horizontal Bearing Range is often used for propulsion motor or marine generator applications on non-naval vessels. Propulsion motor and generator applications for naval vessels are generally designed specifically for the project or developed from ...
Journal Pad Units
Posted: 16th June 2016
The range of Journal Pad Units (JPU) covers a shaft diameter range from 40-300mm. There are 5 tilting radial pads per set which can be arranged so that load is applied directly to one pad or shared between two pads. Each pad is manufactured to give a preload profile at the working face to ensure that a converging, pressure generating hydrodynamic oil wedge is always formed between the radial pa...
Omega Equalised
Posted: 16th June 2016
The Omega Equalised Series is a range of equalised thrust bearing internals. The philosophy of the Omega series involves offering various thrust pad sizes in different combinations to allow the most appropriate thrust bearing to be selected for the application. The provision of interacting equalising levers behind the thrust pads allows thrust loads to be mechanically equalised across the compl...
Line Shaft Bearings
Posted: 16th June 2016
Michell Bearings designs and manufactures line shaft bearings for both naval and commercial marine applications. We have three ranges of standard horizontal bearings for line shaft applications. For naval applications the Naval Plummer Line shaft (NPL) series covers shaft diameters from 250mm to 750mm and is specially designed to handle typical naval shock requirements. This range can be sup...
Thrust Blocks
Posted: 16th June 2016
We have over 100 years of experience in designing main propulsion thrust blocks for all types of surface ships and submarines. We have an extensive installed base of equipment on all types of marine vessels including mega yachts, cruise ships, ice breakers, research ships, patrol vessels, auxiliary vessels, frigates, destroyers, aircraft carriers and submarines. Thrust blocks are generall...
