and Generator BearingsMichell Bearings is a trusted manufacturer of hydrodynamic bearings for gas and steam turbine applications.
We offer a range of thrust and journal bearings for gas and steam turbine applications. Our thrust bearings can be designed with or without load equalisation levers behind the thrust pads. The Self Equalised (SE) and Equalised Omega (OE) thrust bearings both incorporate equalisation levers, whereas the Omega (OT) range does not require this if used.
Our standard journal bearings range in shaft diameters from 40mm to 300mm and are manufactured with a steel housing and five centre-pivoted journal pads. The journal pads are designed to give a preloaded profile which ensures that a pressure generating, hydrodynamic oil wedge is formed between the journal pads and shaft journal, even under the lightest of loads.
In addition, Michell Bearings can work with original equipment manufacturers to develop specific bearing solutions for gas and steam turbine applications. This can involve supporting the axial and radial bearing loads on white metal (or babbitt) or PEEK lined bearing surfaces.
Our global network and 24 hour manufacturing capability ensures we can react quickly and efficiently to customer requirements.

Bearings for this application
Select BearingsSE Series
The Self Equalised (SE) Series is a range of equalised thrust bearing internals. The provision of interacting equalising levers behind the thrust pads allows thrust loads to be mechanically equalised across the complete thrust face.
Journal Pad Units
The range of Journal Pad Units (JPU) covers a shaft diameter range from 40-300mm.
Omega Equalised
The Omega Equalised Series is a range of equalised thrust bearing internals.
Omega
The philosophy of the Omega series involves offering various thrust pad sizes in different combinations to allow the most appropriate thrust bearing to be selected for the application.
