Product Features

 Exhibits superior water affinity, resistance to silt abrasion, and high wear resistance.

 Features low friction and reduced power consumption, achieving over 15% higher energy efficiency compared to other bearing types.

Operates reliably during startup/shutdown under boundary lubrication conditions or during brief water supply interruptions, even when a full hydrodynamic water film cannot be established.

Offers high load-carrying capacity, inherent damping properties, and ensures stable, reliable operation.

Automatically compensates for misalignment or uneven contact caused by installation or deformation, optimizing load distribution.

Low water absorption ensures dimensional stability. Clearances are easily adjustable, and installation/maintenance requires no scraping or re-finishing of the bearing surface.

Replaces Babbitt alloy bearings, eliminating the need for complex oil supply systems. Utilizes inexpensive water as the lubricant, significantly reducing operating costs while offering clear energy-saving and environmental benefits.

Product Applications

FZB03GS water-lubricated bearings have been successfully deployed in applications such as hydro turbine guide bearings and large water pump bearings (including mine dewatering and emergency rescue pumps), receiving positive feedback from end-users.

The FZB3GS bearing has pioneered the use of water lubrication in thrust bearings for small vertical hydroelectric units. This application has proven to be safe, reliable, and effective in reducing operating costs while simplifying maintenance, setting a precedent for water-lubricated thrust bearings in the hydroelectric industry.
