Bearings keep the compressor rotors aligned and turning smoothly, and their condition largely determines airend service life.
Types of Bearings
Roller and angular contact bearings handle radial and axial loads, with designs matched to the rotor forces of each model.
Lubrication and Cooling
Oil-injected machines lubricate bearings with compressor oil, while oil-free designs use sealed or separately lubricated bearings.
Protecting Bearing Life
Clean oil, correct temperature and proper filtration prevent the contamination that causes most bearing failures.
