The Technical Services Departments at both our plants can offer a wealth of
practical advice gained from decades of "hands-on" experience in the
manufacture, repair
and modification of fluid-film bearings.
Whether you require an on-site evaluation, a metallurgical study and a
formal report, on-line inquiry capabilities,
or a quick sight-unseen verbal opinion, our experience can help identify the probable
causes of bearing damage. If the damage is related to the
design, our Technical Service Managers, supported by our Engineering Department, may be
able to suggest bearing modifications to avoid future damage.
Each Technical Services Manager at our plants has more than
30 years of tenure with Pioneer. Their cumulative experience, supported by the engineering
department’s theoretical expertise, is often invaluable for end users looking for
practical help within reasonable time and budget constraints. For example, improving the
oil flow or clearance profile within a fluid film bearing may not require an engineering
evaluation, particularly where an existing modification has a track-record of success.
We have the experience to diagnose many straightforward
problems with fluid-film bearings without incurring the higher costs associated with long,
drawn out professional engineering studies. There’s just no substitute for the
experience that gives us the confidence to offer a practical modification with the
assurance that "in fit, form and function" it will work. Perhaps one of our
modifications can improve your bearing performance.
