Carbon Thrust Bearing Manufacturers

Find high quality Carbon Thrust Bearing. We AMERIGO offer high-quality Carbon Thrust Bearing in India. Our Carbon thrust bearings are designed to handle high axial loads with excellent wear resistance and low friction. Manufactured from high-grade carbon or graphite materials, these bearings offer superior performance in high-temperature, corrosive, and dry-running applications. Widely used in pumps, compressors, turbines, and heavy industrial machinery, carbon thrust bearings ensure smooth operation, reduced maintenance, and extended service life. Their self-lubricating properties make them ideal for demanding industrial environments. Carbon thrust bearings are widely used in pumps, compressors, turbines, and heavy rotating equipment because of their unique material properties.

Carbon Thrust Bearings Specs:

Bearing Material: High-grade carbon — often sintered carbon or resin/metal impregnated carbon depending on design. Counterface Material (mating surface): Hardened, ground and lapped metals such as CA40 or stainless steels to precise surface finish (~Ra 0.10 µm). Machining & Finish: CNC machined, lapped/polished to tight tolerances to achieve smooth surface and precise thickness.

Carbon thrust bearings are chosen for their low friction, self-lubrication, and wear resistance: 🟢 Self-Lubricating: The carbon surface often provides lubrication without external grease/oil. 🟢 Low Coefficient of Friction: Reduces energy loss and wear. 🟢 High Wear Resistance: Suitable for continuous axial loads. 🟢 Low Thermal Expansion: Helps maintain dimensional stability at elevated temperatures. 🟢 Corrosion Resistant: Especially compared with unprotected steels in harsh environments.

Dimensions: Available in various diameters (e.g., 0–300 mm OD ranges common) and thicknesses per custom requirements. Often supplied as round washers or segmented pads for specific machine shafts.

Load Handling: Designed to support axial (thrust) loads, particularly in submersible motors and pumps (from a few kN up to ~100 kN or more depending on design).

Speed & Rotation: Depending on the mating counterface and lubrication, the limiting speed may range from a few thousand to several thousand RPM (typically manufacturer specifies exact rpm ratings).

Temperature Rating: Carbon bearings are typically usable up to ~200 °C in many designs (some higher depending on impregnation and counterface).

Other Tolerances: Hardness: Carbon segments might be hardened up to relevant scales (e.g., ~85 HSD reported for some shafts). Surface finish: Often lapped for low friction and wear.

Applications: Submersible pumps (borewell and open-well). Industrial machinery requiring axial load handling. Situations where self-lubrication and corrosion resistance improve system reliability.

Our Carbon Thrust Bearing Includes:Self-Lubricating Property: Carbon bearings can operate with little or no external lubrication, reducing maintenance and the risk of oil contamination.

Excellent Wear Resistance: They offer high resistance to wear, even under continuous operation and moderate loads.

High Temperature Tolerance: Carbon thrust bearings perform reliably at elevated temperatures where metal bearings may fail or seize.

Low Coefficient of Friction: The natural lubricity of carbon minimizes friction, improving efficiency and reducing power loss.

Good Chemical Resistance: Carbon material is resistant to many chemicals, acids, and corrosive fluids, making it suitable for chemical and process industries.

Dimensional Stability: Carbon bearings show minimal thermal expansion, ensuring stable operation and accurate alignment.

Non-Seizing and Anti-Galling Nature: Unlike metal-to-metal contact, carbon bearings do not seize easily, even during dry running conditions.

Lightweight Yet Strong: Carbon bearings are lighter than metallic alternatives while still providing adequate load-carrying capacity.

Low Noise and Smooth Operation: They enable quiet, vibration-free performance in rotating machinery.

Long Service Life: Due to reduced friction and wear, carbon thrust bearings typically offer a longer operational life.

These characteristics make carbon thrust bearings ideal for pumps, blowers, compressors, electric motors, and high-speed industrial machinery.
