The rules of thumb often applied to journal bearings in horizontal machines don’t apply to vertical machines. Vertical turbine pumps are a common example.

This presentation explains the characteristics of bearings in these pumps and provide examples of manufacturers specifications.

In addition, specialty bearing materials will be discussed in regard to applications, specifications and installation.

Target audience: This webinar is most useful for service center technicians and engineers. The content is beneficial for supervisors and managers who are responsible for pump failure analysis and testing.
