We Can Solve Your Peak Cap Bearings Problems

We provide unique services that set us apart from other companies in the industry. Our service department refurbished peak cap bearings in a rectangular clarifier at a wastewater treatment plant, saving time and money. We quickly got their primary tank back up and running 24/7.

We can provide alternatives to standard products and materials when your application needs to work under extreme conditions. Thordon SXL bearings will operate efficiently in water treatment sedimentation tanks without the need for grease and without any corrosion issues. 

One of the significant problems associated with greased metal bearings in sedimentation tanks is their susceptibility to damage from sticks, rags, and other types of debris that can move through the tank. Anything obstructing the grease from reaching the bearings can result in the bearings getting galled or seized. Dewatering a tank to repair bearings can be time-consuming and extremely costly. Fortunately, a great solution to this problem is to replace traditional greased bearings with Thordon SXL grease-free bearings. After undergoing testing for 18 months in a sedimentation tank without any grease lines, Thordon SXL bearings exhibited no signs of wear or corrosion, and the steel shafts showed only minimal wear. Although they may cost a bit more to install initially, Thordon SXL bearings require minimal maintenance and save you from costly downtime and continuous repair costs.

More About Thordon SXL Bearings

Thordon SXL is a crosslinked elastomeric polymer alloy bearing. It’s made from thermosetting resin and three-dimensional, crosslinked condensation polymers.

The following properties allows Thordon Bearings to work under extreme conditions

• Resilience, toughness, and material memory
• Outstanding abrasion resistance
• Self-lubricating capabilities
• Low friction
• Early Hydrodynamics film development
• Acoustically quieter
• Stiffer than rubber and capable of supporting operation at lower shaft RPM
• Increased resistance to third particle abrasive wear
• Improved wear life compared to XL.
