Hydrodynamic Bearings

Precision Hydrodynamic Bearings for High-Load, High-Speed Applications

Hydrodynamic bearings provide exceptional load-carrying capacity and low-friction performance, making them ideal for high-speed rotating equipment, turbines, compressors, and industrial machinery. Using a fluid film lubrication system, these bearings minimize wear, reduce heat generation, and enhance efficiency in demanding applications.

Our selection includes complete CG-1 and CG-3 hydrodynamic bearings, as well as split oil rings, to support varied operational needs in industrial, power generation, and heavy-duty applications.

• CG-1 Hydrodynamic Bearings – Complete fully split bearing offering radial and axial load support and self-contained water cooling free performance
• CG-3 Hydrodynamic Bearings – Optimized for higher load and speed conditions, providing superior damping and reduced friction in heavy machinery these water cooling free cores will install directly into a dodge R-series housing.
• Split Oil Rings – Interchangeable replacement rings for efficient lubrication distribution in hydrodynamic bearing assemblies, reducing wear and extending service life.
