Underwater Applications

Why choose diamond bearings for underwater applications?

Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) bearings provide a high-performance alternative to conventional bearings. PCD bearings are ideally suited for operation in process fluids where abrasive particles can cause accelerated wear in roller or plain bearings. This results in increased life over other bearing alternatives.

Key elements of PCD:

Extreme hardness (wear resistance)
• High thermal conductivity (heat removal)
• High strength
• High toughness
• Low friction

Construction and assembly:

PCD inserts brazed into steel rings, using proprietary processes
• Various PCD pad shapes
• Customized designs

Configurations available:

• Thrust
• Radial
• Tapered
