Thrust bearings are critical in supporting axial loads or side-to-side motion on a shaft and preventing any movement along the shaft. In high-wear applications such as electric submersible pumps (ESP), the thrust disc/thrust washer provides a surface to support a sealed thrust bearing. Junty, a professional thrust disc/thrust washer manufacturer, offers a high-quality custom thrust disc/thrust washer designed to improve the reliability of electric submersible pumps.
Why Thrust Bearings Matter in Electric Submersible Pumps
Electric submersible pumps are commonly used in small-diameter boreholes at significant depths and high ambient temperatures. These pumps are designed to operate in harsh environments, which can result in increased wear and tear on the components, including the thrust bearing. The thrust bearing is responsible for supporting axial loads or side-to-side motion on a shaft, which is critical for the smooth operation of the pump.
Improving Load Capacity with the Thrust Disc
The thrust disc/thrust washer is placed between a rotating surface and a stationary component, providing a surface for the sealed thrust bearing to rest on. The specific application determines the type of thrust washer that is recommended, and the primary materials used for thrust disc/washers are silicon carbide (SSIC & RBSIC), carbon graphite (Resin-impregnated & Metal-impregnated), and tungsten carbide (6% Nickel TC & 6% Cobalt TC).
