• in Angular Contact Bearings

  Messinger (a Kingsbury brand) angular contact ball bearings are designed with offset raceways between the inner and outer rings which creates a specific contact angle under load. Due to this configuration, these bearings are well suited to carry combined axial and radial loading. Single row bearings can carry axial loading in only one direction and are almost always sold in pairs or adjusted against another bearing. Angular contact ball bearings have one shoulder removed to allow for a greater compliment of balls than standard deep groove ball bearings. These bearings are good choices for high speed applications and can be produced to an ABEC 5 precision class.

• in Crossed Roller Bearings

  Originally designed and patented by Messinger Bearings (a Kingsbury brand), the crossed cylindrical roller bearing is designed to handle all combinations of radial, axial and overturning moment loads in a single, compact envelope. This versatile solution can be supplied in standard cross sections or with bolt-down, offset races for extreme slewing applications. This bearing is a good choice if a high degree of stiffness is required, however it requires rigid and precise mounting surfaces. Crossed roller bearings can be supplied with internal or external integral gearing.

• in High Temperature Bearings

  Kingsbury Inc. manufactures fluid film thrust bearings and journal bearings for unusually harsh and high temperature applications. These bearings are constructed of advanced materials thrust (PEEK) and can operate directly in water, process fluid, or oil. The bearings also have the ability to tolerate dry start conditions.

• in Hydrostatic & Hydrodynamic Bearings

  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.

• in Journal Bearings

  Kingsbury designs and manufactures many sizes and styles of hydrodynamic journal bearings. All are engineered to customer specifications and are the result of many years of design refinement and application experience. Properly installed and maintained, Kingsbury hydrodynamic journal bearings can operate indefinitely. Kingsbury's hydrodynamic journal bearings are available in fixed profile styles or tilting pad designs, and operate with flooded lubrication or directed lubrication systems. Hydrodynamic journal technology is utilized in high-speed turbine bearing, generator, pump, compressor and gear drive applications for power generation, oil and gas, and general industry.

• in Pivot Bearings

  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.

• in Thrust Bearings

  Kingsbury hydrodynamic, tilting pad thrust bearings, in flooded lubrication or directed lubrication styles, are used in high speed turbine, generator, compressor and gear drive applications. Kingsbury thrust products run the gamut from flooded lubrication bearings for less demanding applications to advanced LEG (Leading Edge Groove) directed lubrication technology for high speed machinery. These bearings direct oil from an opening in the base ring, to the leading edge of the shoes, and onto the moving surfaces of the bearing. With this method, just enough oil is applied to enable the bearing to run smoothly. The key benefits of directed lubrication technology are: 1) Reliable operation with lower oil flow requirements; 2) Dramatically reduced bearing power losses; 3) Much lower operating temperatures; 4) Significantly increased load capacity.
