New production & regeneration
Plain bearings for power plants Made in Germany
Whether new production or regeneration, our plain bearings meet the highest demands. Our plain bearings are used in thermal power plants, among others. We equip coal, gas and nuclear power plants with the right plain bearing technology . In addition to generator bearings and turbine bearings, we also supply pump bearings, exciter bearings and radial tilting pad bearings. We also equip hydroelectric power plants in the best possible way by manufacturing or regenerating our plain bearings. As an experienced specialist company, we are an excellent choice if you need generator bearings, throttle bushings, housings for variable pitch propellers or bronze bushes for ball valves.
Generator bearings for the highest demands
Compared to roller or ball bearings, a plain bearing offers a decisive advantage. The oil film is often the only damping element in the vibrating system of the shaft train and therefore limits unbalance or resonance vibrations.
Our generator bearings meet the highest demands and can also be custom-made by us if required. We are also happy to support you with the design of your plain bearing.
