igus Inc. manufactures pivot bearings with dimensions from 0.19 to 1.2". Produced according to DIN ISO 12240 standards, the pivot bearings are available as double joint and miniature types.

The Timken Company produces bearing assemblies for automotive engine valve trains that pivot into a single unit. The pivot bearings are used for applications including overhead valve and overhead cam engines, and are comprised of two precision needle roller bearings that pivot on a shaft.

KMC Bearings manufacture Flexure pivot tilt pad journal bearings that eliminate pivot wear, high contact stresses and pad flutter problems. The pivot bearings feature one piece design, are available with small wall thickness, and can be used to retrofit small and miniature-sized fluid film and rolling element.

Riverhawk Company designs pivot bearings that serve as an alternative to roller element bearings, knife edge bearings, and jeweled bearings. Pivot bearing types produced include cantilevered pivot bearings, double ended pivot bearings, and linear flexure bearings.

Bearing Plus Inc. manufactures pivot journal bearings and pivot thrust bearings. The pivot journal bearings eliminate pivot wear, high contact stresses and pad flutter problems. The pivot thrust bearings are used for a number of applications including electric motors, pumps, gear boxes, compressors, engines, turbines, turbochargers, oil well drilling motors, and marine shafts.

C-Flex Bearing Co. Inc. designs pivot bearings that require no lubrication, are self-centering, and provide precise rotation with low hysteresis and no frictional losses. The pivot bearings are used in gimbals, tensioners, positioners, lever actuators, sensors, optics, semi-conductor, medical, and continuous R&D applications.

Kingsbury tilt-pad 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 installed in 1912 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 our compact fixed profile bearings which are ideal for OEM applications.

Pioneer Motor Bearing designs fluid pivot, tilting pad journal bearings that handle static and continuous dynamic misalignment, as the bearings' spherically-seated pads extend misalignment capabilities to more than 1 inch in 12 inches. The bearings feature a squeeze film for improved damping and a small envelope size.

Rotating Machinery Technology manufactures tilting pad journal bearings that feature precision ground and hand lapped spherical pivots. The company's pivot journal bearings prevent pad edge loading caused by misalignment, maintain high pivot stiffness values, and provide low pivot stresses for minimal pivot wear. The bearings are used in high load, high speed applications.

R.D. Dane Corp. designs pivot bearings that feature ball bearings with double rows of ball lubricated and sealed. The pivot bearing's bracket is designed to accept the outer race of the pivot bearings and provide a means for clamping a pivot bearing up to 10.63 inches from its mounting surface.
