THORDON HYDRO-POWER BEARINGS

Thordon Hydro-power Bearings are engineered to meet the demanding needs of hydro-power plants, offering robust, low-maintenance solutions for critical machinery components.

Trusted in hydro-power applications worldwide, Thordon bearings are the preferred choice for maximizing operational efficiency and sustainability, while minimizing downtime and maintenance costs. With a proven track record, our bearings help ensure smooth, reliable, and environmentally-friendly power generation.

THORPLAS-BLUE

ThorPlas-Blue is an engineered thermoplastic designed for high-performance applications. It supports dry start-ups and can withstand design pressures up to 45 MPa (6,527 psi). It operates effectively in water up to 80°C (230°F) and in dry conditions up to 100°C (230°F). In non-abrasive environments, ThorPlas-Blue exhibits very low wear rates, making it ideal for long-lasting, maintenance-free use in demanding conditions.

THORDON HPSXL TRAXL

Thordon HPSXL TRAXL is designed for high-pressure applications, handling up to 55 MPa (8,000 psi) dynamically and 70 MPa (10,000 psi) statically. With a low coefficient of friction (typically between 0.06-0.12), it offers exceptional resistance to shock loading and vibration, making it ideal for demanding, high-performance environments.

THORDON SXL

Thordon SXL is designed to handle working pressures up to 10 MPa (1,450 psi). With a coefficient of friction typically between 0.10-0.20, it is ideal for dry start-up and can operate in both wet and dry environments. SXL is highly resistant to abrasion, shock loading, and vibration, ensuring reliable, long-lasting performance in demanding conditions.

THORSEAL HYDRAULIC SEAL

Thorseal is a highly durable hydraulic seal designed to keep abrasives away from the bearing surface. It can handle working pressures from 0-100 MPa (0-15,000 psi) and is extremely tough, never cutting or tearing. With a low coefficient of friction, self-lubricating properties, and long wear life, it reduces maintenance costs. Thorseal can also be custom designed to address challenging sealing needs, offering a reliable solution for demanding applications.
