POLYMER RUNNERS / STEEL THRUST BEARINGS

  • Self aligning, load equalizing, and shock absorbing pad design.
  • Designed for overload protection and to eliminate startup wear.
  • Bearing grade polymer runs against hardened steel for long life and low cost. For process or oil lubricated systems.
  • Transient reverse thrust - the upthrust bearing can be built into the runner - eliminating a second bearing.
  • Temperature capabilities to 572F
  • Operates in process fluids, water, or oil lubricated systems
  • Replaces heat-treated ground-and-lapped runners
  • Hard, abrasion resistant bearings increase bearing life.
  • Low cost
  • Improved polymer heat dissipation - runs cooler
  • Applications similar to ceramic/carbide line but where improved start/stop performance is desired
  • Not recommended for abrasive environments
  • *Patent Pending
