HSS Horizontal Bearing Assemblies

GB Special Products HSS bearing assemblies are a range of plain bearings, for shaft sizes from 80mm to 315mm. These assemblies are ready for fitting to fans, blowers, pumps, horizontal water turbines, and any other machinery where free standing, base mounted, bearings are required.

Our HSS assemblies incorporate the latest in GB Special Products wide experience in designing bearings for rotating as well as plain, profile, and tilting pad bearings.

General Description
The standard GB Special Products HSSF assembly contains a horizontal plain journal bearing, of split construction, with thrust pads for shaft location.
The main feature of the HSSF range is that it can accommodate high axial loads with the use of Glacier Tilting Thrust Pads lubricated by a specially designed oil disc arrangement inside the assembly. This provides a positive oil supply to the thrust pads as well as the sleeve bearings. This design eliminates the requirement of external lubricating oil stations. Normally, the only requirement would be a cooling water supply.

For the non-thrust assembly, HSRF, the same frame size housing will be used accommodating a standard sleeve bearing, lubricated by an oil ring.
