Engineering Services

Our name is synonymous with renowned engineering.

Pioneering A Better Future

Our engineering firepower on bearings and seals assists OEMs in the design and development of bearings for new machines. For all end-users, we focus on improving the performance and reliability of existing turbomachinery in the field.

From a solid grounding in tribology to expertise in rotordynamics, our experience and insight with radial and thrust bearing theory, materials, operations and maintenance stands out in our industry. We design, manufacture, repair or upgrade in house. One stop shopping. No divided responsibility.  

Custom Bearing Design and Development

We can select and design an appropriate fluid film bearing for your machine from a “clean sheet” or your functional specifications, with your budget in mind.
