| Bearing Type | INDRON Bearing | AR Bearing | Ceramic Bearing | Rubber Bearing | Babbitt Alloy |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Characteristics | Performance close to thordon; supports multiple assembly methods (freezing, pressurizing, coating Dx). | High wear/impact resistance but high hardness can wear shaft sleeves; risk of shelling. | Heat and corrosion resistant; allows short dry grinding; fragile and expensive. | Mature process; anti-seismic and low price (approx. 20% of ceramic). | Requires complex sealing and lubrication mechanisms. |
| Lubrication | Clean water or 150s dry start. | Dry start >180S without water. | Pumping medium lubrication. | Clean industrial water. | Grease supply system. |
| Max Temp | ≤70ºC | ≥273ºC | Up to 1,400ºC | ≤50ºC | ≤65ºC (Peak 80ºC) |
| Application | Pumping stations with moderate sediment or short dry friction needs. | Stations requiring dry friction >180S. | Stations without clean water access. | Extensive use with clean water sources. | Where pump liquid cannot lubricate bearings. |
