Our vertical bearings are used in a variety of vertical shaft industrial applications including pumps, motors, hydro-turbines, and generators.
We offer a range of compact vertical bearing products including modular assemblies (AV, V, LV) and project specific custom engineered solutions (MV). Depending on the operating requirements, our bearings can be air cooled, water cooled or cooled using oil supplied from an external lubrication system.
AV Series
The Advanced Vertical (AV) Series is a modular range of vertical thrust and guide bearings covering a shaft range of 68-411mm across 9 frame sizes.
V Series
Thrust and guide bearings for shaft diameters up to 411mm and axial load capacity up to 738Kn.
MV Series
For vertical shaft machine applications that cannot be satisfied using the Michell AV, LV or V product ranges.
For special applications, where the bearing internals are required to be positioned within the casing of the machine, we can offer bespoke bearing solutions which are tailored specifically to the requirements of the project.
