Tilt Pad Thrust

Troubleshooting the source of differential thrust bearing temperatures can be frustrating and costly, especially if load reduction action is required. A tilt pad thrust bearing retrofit can be a cost-effective solution when sole plate settling or other foundation changes have created an undesirable alignment condition. We offer predictable bump check shim sizing and complete assembly (leveling links, base rings, pivot buttons) reconditioning. Client options also include material upgrades and performance monitoring instrumentation as well as short-cycle delivery.
