Vertical Thrust Bearings
The V Series Vertical Thrust Bearing Assembly is a self contained thrust and radial bearing assembly, with a integral water cooling system.
V - Series Thrust Bearings are designed by KCEB utilising our standard M Series thrust bearings with offset pivots and journal pads.
The V-Series is interchangeable with other OEM designs with the same interface geometry and assemblies can be customised to suit your requirements and instrumentation. Performance analysis provided by KCEB will ensure suitable size selection for your application requirements.
To increase load capacity and improve reliability, V series bearings can be manufactured using a standard Q Series (compact equalising) thrust assembly for the lower thrust bearing to increase reliability and load capacity.
