Custom Bearings
All US Synthetic PCD bearings and wear parts are custom designed for each application. We work closely with our customers to develop bearings that can be easily integrated into existing or new tools. The US Synthetic Bearings engineering teams provide design support, prototype manufacturing, and in-house laboratory testing to help our customers meet the needs of their specific applications.
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
