High-Pressure Lubrication System for Hydro Generator Thrust Bearings
Our Hydrostatic Lubrication Unit is specifically engineered for providing high-pressure lubrication to the thrust bearings of hydro generators, especially during critical start-up and shutdown operations. Designed for continuous-duty performance, this unit ensures optimal bearing protection and smooth machine operation even under demanding conditions
System Overview
The unit delivers reliable lubrication using a positive displacement pump—either gear, piston, or vane type—with a robust design capable of generating up to 210 kg/cm² of working pressure. All components are built for industrial-grade durability, meeting the stringent demands of hydro power applications.
Key Features:
- Continuous Duty Rated: All components and assemblies are suitable for uninterrupted operation, ensuring maximum reliability
- High Working Pressure: Capable of delivering lubrication at pressures up to 210 kg/cm², essential for effective thrust bearing protection.
- Positive Displacement Pump Options: Available with gear, piston, or vane-type pumps as per system requirement or user preference.
- Versatile Oil Compatibility:
Operates with standard turbine oils such as:
- ISO VG 32
- ISO VG 46
- ISO VG 68
- Servo Prime 57
- Or any other oil grade as specified in the client’s enquiry
- Built for Hydro Generator Applications: Specifically suited for start-up/shutdown cycles where bearing load support is critical to avoid metal-to-metal contact.
Applications
- Hydro Generator Thrust Bearings
- Start-up and Shutdown Lubrication Systems
- Powerhouse and Turbine Oil Circuits
