Take a good, hard look at virtually any industry and you'll find pumps and compressors in the mix. From oil and gas to chemical processing, water and waste treatment, medical, manufacturing, power generation, paper, and mining - there are pumps and compressors working behind the scenes and around the clock. For each of these industries, the requirement for greater Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) places increasingly severe demands on the bearings being used. To meet the challenges of pump and compressor applications, NSK has developed a variety of unique ball and cylindrical roller bearings. These bearings are engineered to withstand heavy radial loads, perform longer and more efficiently, operate smoother with less noise and vibration, and last longer for maximum productivity and minimal downtime.
NSK Solutions:
The BMPC Series of Angular Contact Ball Bearings are ideal fo centrifugal pumps in petrochemical plants. These bearings incorporate a high-strength machined brass cage, which provides superior reliability in the harshest of API-60 pump applications.
Four point Contact Bearings are unique with their split inner ring. The ball bearings have a contact angle of 35o and can accomodate high axial loads supported in either direction. In some cases, a four point contact bearing can replace a pair of angular contact bearings mounted face-to-face or back-to back.
Angular Contact and Cylindrical Screw Compressor bearings are often exposed to the damaging effects of compressor oils, refrigerants, and ammonia gas. To operate under these difficult conditions and resist oil and heat, NSK screw compressor bearings feature Linear Polyphenylene Sulfide (L-PPS) cages, which offer:
- Long, trouble-free performance
- Superior heat, chemical, and wear resistance
- Increased load capacity
- Improved lubrication performance
