Hydrodynamic tilting pad journal bearing
John Crane

For many high speed applications, John Crane multilobe (MGF) bearings provide the most cost-effective solution to the problem of oil film instability. Of all slide bearing types, however, tilting pad journal bearings offer the optimum in rotor stability due to their exceptional stiffness and damping characteristics. For this reason, tilting pad journal bearings are ideal for use in high speed machinery operating under low to medium loads, eg, turbines, turbocompressors, pumps and high-speed gear boxes.

Basic Design
The John Crane standard tilting pad journal bearing consists of a steel (C15) housing and 5 journal pads which are supported/pivoted centrally. This enables shaft rotation in either direction. The pads are manufactured from C15 steel and coated with a high quality white metal lining (TegoStar738).
