We offer our customers a wide range of Michell Tilting Pad Bearing Apparatus. The Michell Tilting Pad Bearing Apparatus consists of a pad which can be tilted to the required angle. An endless belt, which moves beneath the pad, carries the oil over its surface from oil bath. When the pad tilted over the oil film, pressure is developed. The pad is provided with pressure tapping parallel & perpendicular to belt direction. The pressure distribution is measured over a multitube manometer; belt is driven by a variable speed motor. The tilting angle and minimum gap between pad and belt can be adjusted and characteristics thus can be studied at various gaps, inclination & relative surface speeds.

Specifications of Michell Tilting Pad Bearing Apparatus:

1. Tilting Pad--Circular, Square & Trapezoidal shapes one each, with highly polished surface and pressure tapping.
