Custom designed and finely tuned profile to maximize load ratings with geometry limitations
Forged bearing blankings to ensure the strength and toughness needed for harsh downhole conditions
Precisely controlled heat treatment process and parameters to minimize wear and maximize impact resistance
Optimized ball arrangement and conformity to achieve maximum load capacity and minimum wear
ENGINEERING & ANALYSIS
Static and dynamic load rating are calculated with bearing empirical formula and mod factors applied to ensure its accuracy
Bearing FEA models are built and analyzed to accurately simulate actual loading in order to optimize Hertz contact stress pattern and design, thanks to our excellent combined knowledge of numerical theory and downhole motor run conditions
Ball size, contact profile and conformity are tuned to achieve the max load capacity and the best wear resistance

THRUST BALL BEARING IN MUD MOTOR
As your partner, our engineers will work closely with you to provide the best design to enhance your motor performance and competitiveness
Heat generation is minimized, even at the highest RPM and under max load in the field by adjusting bearing hydraulic resistance, optimizing heat convection, and balancing bypass flow rate
Radial clearance and axial preload are tuned to balance stability, wear, and extra radial support from bearing to motor during high side load conditions
