Journal Bearings

We have various designs of journal bearings , all of which can be customised to suit your application.

Our standard range of journal bearing pad units have a steel housing seating five uniquely designed centre-pivoted journal pads. The journal pads are manufactured to give a preload profile at their working face. This ensures that a pressure generating, hydro-dynamic oil wedge is formed between the journal pads and shaft journal, even under the lightest of loads.
