Hydrodynamic Bearings Part 2: Reducing Friction

As mentioned previously, theoretically you can use any fluid to create a hydrodynamic bearing, but each fluid has limitations on the load and speed that it is capable of supporting.

As mentioned previously, theoretically you can use any fluid to create a hydrodynamic bearing, but each fluid has limitations on the load and speed that it is capable of supporting. For our water lubricated bearings, at zero speed the coefficient of friction between the shaft and bearing will equal the static friction coefficient (~0.25-0.35 for SXL). As the relative speed between the surfaces increases, we see the coefficient drop quickly until it reaches a minimum of approximately 0.01

replacing the existing oil bearing and seal with a Thordon SXL elastomeric bearing in a new split, radial segmented seals can be easily replaced with Thordon SXL seals, which offer a greatly, Argone installation. CH Argone had its axial carbon seal replaced with a Thordon SXL seal in 2016, successfully. We have upgraded two more similar plants for Iberdrola to Thordon SXL segmented shaft seals in the past year, and the operator is considering further carbon to SXL shaft seal upgrades
