FRICTION BEARNINGS
In frictions bearings there is little friction between rotary & stationary parts because of more contact area between shaft & bearings

Journal (Radial) Bearings Waukesha Bearings’ journal bearing range is the most extensive in the industry…with designs ranging from less than one inch (25 mm) to over 20 inches (500 mm) in diameter, available in a wide variety of fixed profile (sleeve) and tilting pad configurations. Combination thrust/journal bearing designs are also available for applications with limited axial space. From small, high speed turbochargers to the world’s largest gas turbine…Waukesha delivers.
Waukesha Bearings tilting pad radial bearings are designed to transfer radial loads from rotating shafts with minimum power loss and optimum dynamic characteristics. Engineers at Waukesha Bearings work collaboratively with customers to understand the performance expectations and operating conditions…and provide a high-performing solution, manufactured to the highest quality standards in the industry.

Designs may be non-equalizing or self-equalizing with various types of lubrication arrangements to support the unique requirements of turbomachinery.
- Non-equalized (MS-style) tilting pad thrust bearings:
- Proven design operates without equalizing levers
- Compact design to save space
- Pivot type and offset designed to suit specific application
- Sizes from 1.25” up to 60” (32 mm up to 1524 mm)
- Equalized (CQ-style) tilting pad thrust bearings:
- Able to safely carry highest loads at high speeds in turbomachinery
- Designed to accommodate misalignment or deflection in supporting structure
- Compact design for space savings of 40% over traditional bearings
- Meets industry standards such as API
- Sizes from 1.25” up to 60” (32 mm up to 1524 mm)
