Waukesha Bearings

Engineering business solutions
Applications knowledge has long been Waukesha Bearings strength. When supplying drawings, they have the experience to recommend cost effective options. On custom design projects, they are known for handling the most challenging applications. Their problem solving abilities have been proven to show bottom line business benefits in longer up time, lower maintenance expense and higher machine efficiency. Retrofitting a new bearing to an existing envelope is another Waukesha Bearing speciality. It's often a tricky process, but it can enable an increase in machine output without replacing rotor or bearing housings.

Their R & D efforts have produced a stream of products for better machine performance. One example is the Pocket Feed™ series of thrust and journal bearings, which operate at up to 50% less oil flow, generate lower power losses and have a higher load capacity than conventional flooded designs. This allows customers to downsize their oil systems, saving initial and on-going costs. Other innovations include the HyFilm thrust bearings for maximum load capacity, offset pivots and high temperature pad materials.
