Product Details

JOURNAL Radial bearings are specialized bearings designed primarily to support radial loads. These bearings play a crucial role in reducing friction and vibration in high-performance applications. Examples of radial bearings include deep groove ball bearings, cylindrical roller bearings, and needle bearings.


Types of Bearings Based on Load Support


Rolling element bearings are categorized based on the type of load they support:


  • Radial Bearings: Primarily support radial loads but can handle limited thrust loads under specific conditions.

  • Angular Contact Bearings: Designed to support a combination of radial and thrust loads.

  • Thrust Bearings: Specifically engineered to support axial (thrust) loads.


Among these, Radial Pad Bearings excel at supporting perpendicular loads, ensuring smooth and efficient operation.

Benefits of Radial Bearings in Turbomachinery


Bearings are essential in turbomachinery, where they reduce friction caused by metal-to-metal contact. Turbomachinery experiences two main types of loads:


  • Radial Loads: Perpendicular to the shaft's axis.

  • Axial Loads: Also known as thrust loads, which act horizontally.


When both load types are present, fluid film bearings (also known as slide contact bearings) are preferred. They rely on hydrodynamic film pressure to separate rotating and stationary surfaces, ensuring minimal wear and maximum efficiency.


Why Choose JOURNAL as Your Radial Pad Bearing Supplier?


Engineers at JOURNAL leverage advanced design features to create custom radial pad bearing solutions that deliver superior performance:


Directed Lubrication


This feature minimizes power loss, keeps pad temperatures low, and enhances load capacity.


Alternative Pad Backing and Surface Materials


Designed to withstand higher temperatures and dissipate heat more effectively, these materials increase the bearing's load-carrying capacity.


Pad Pivot Types


These configurations enhance the bearing's capacity to handle axial misalignment and heavy loads.


Pad Geometries


Optimized for dynamic machine performance, these geometries increase stability and create optimal stiffness and damping characteristics.


Hydrostatic Lift


Configurations include hydrostatic lift capabilities to accommodate high loads during machine start-up without sacrificing load capacity.


Advanced Materials


Radial pad bearings made with advanced materials can operate at higher temperatures and maintain thinner films than traditional babbitt-lined bearings.


Instrumentation Options


These bearings can be equipped with sensors, such as temperature monitors and proximity probes, to provide critical measurements and detect potential machine malfunctions.


Radial Pad Bearings are an indispensable component in high-speed and high-load applications. Their adaptability, durability, and advanced features make them a reliable choice for industries demanding precision and performance. From reducing friction to accommodating complex load scenarios, these bearings ensure efficient and stable operation in a variety of machinery applications.


With expert engineering and innovative designs, JOURNAL radial pad bearings continue to set the standard for load support and operational excellence in rotating equipment.
