Kingsbury hydrodynamic bearings support a rotating shaft and transmit its axial load to a machine foundation by floating it on a self-renewing film of oil. Kingsbury's very first bearing was a flooded hydrodynamic thrust bearing with tilting pads to equalize the load. Other types of Kingsbury hydrodynamic bearings include directed lubrication bearings which reduce oil flow and power loss in high speed applications, and compact fixed profile bearings which are ideal for OEM applications. Kingsbury hydrodynamic thrust bearings, in flooded lubrication or directed lubrication styles, are used in high speed turbine, generator, compressor and gear drive applications.

Rotordynamics - Seal Research provides advanced modeling/simulation software for hydrodynamic bearing and hydrostatic bearing design.

Waukesha Bearings produces fluid film bearings - also known as hydrodynamic bearings - including thrust (axial) and journal (radial) types in vertical and horizontal assemblies. The tilting pad thrust bearings are used for high-load, high-speed applications, and are available in sizes from 1.25" to 60". The journal bearings are one inch to more than 20 inches in diameter, and available in a variety of fixed profile (sleeve) and tilting pad configurations.

Team Corporation produces V-8 and T-8 hydrostatic bearings that are used with electro-dynamic and servo-hydraulic shakes with up to 2 inches of stroke. The hydrostatic bearings can carry up to 10,000 pounds of verticals, and feature an "air pad" base that facilitates movement and alignment of the bearings.

Zollern manufactures and supplies hydrostatic bearings used in high-precision applications in measuring, testing, and machine tool engineering. Unlike hydrodynamic bearings, the company's hydrostatic bearings avoid slip resistance caused by mixed friction during start-up and rundown. The company offers various hydrostatic bearing solutions including: guideways, lead screws, spindle units, test/special bearings, and bearing components.

Cranfield Precision in conjunction with Cranfield University develops porous ceramic hydrostatic bearings ideal for applications that require extremely low radial error motions, high load capacity, ultra precision, high damping, and good thermal stability.

Fluid Film Devices designs and manufactures aerodynamic and hydrodynamic bearings, and aerostatic and hydrostatic bearings. The hydrodynamic bearings are available as slider bearings and plain cylindrical journal bearings, and available in sizes from 1.25 mm to 6 inches in diameter. The hydrostatic bearings are available as thrust and journal types - with diameters from 1.8mm to 15 inches.
