| | Bently Pressurized Bearing Company founded by Donald Bently (former Chairman and CEO of Bently Nevada) designs and manufactures externally pressurized fluid bearings for many types of rotating machinery applications. Radial and thrust bearings are available for new and retrofit applications in a wide range of sizes. Bearing systems can be optimized to carry heavy or light loads and operate at high or low speeds using a variety of liquids or gasses as the bearing fluid. Proprietary design solves many problems such as whip and whirl instability. Excellent stiffness, damping, reliability, and low frictional losses are achievable in a simple and low cost design. In-house diagnostic and testing capabilities are available to solve bearing related rotor dynamic problems including stability analysis using modern root locus methodology. | |
