Special thrust self-aligning plain bearing for icebreaker type ships

They are designed to absorb and transfer to the ship's hull the propeller axial stop and dynamic loads arising from the interaction of the propeller with ice, as well as the radial load from the shaft weight.
Advantages:
High load capacity
Long uptime
Low operating costs
Development of highly loaded bearings for icebreaker-type ships with a thrust of 650 tonnes.
Development of bearing designs capable of operating at high shaft speeds.
Improvement of the system of autonomous lubrication of bearings.
Application of modified carbon plastics as bearing liner materials.
