Bearing
◎ Material: 1. Babbitt Alloy + Lead Bronze 2. AlSn6Cu2Ni1
◎ Function:
◎ The primary function of a journal bearing is to support the rotating shaft, ensuring it stays aligned and operates smoothly.
◎ By providing a low-friction surface for the shaft to rotate against, the journal bearing reduces wear on both the shaft and the bearing itself. This helps extend the lifespan of the pump components.
◎ The journal bearing absorbs radial loads from the shaft and distributes them evenly, preventing localized stress and potential damage to the pump.
