Water Lubrication Bearing Long Life Span For Pumps Replacement Thordon

INDRON® TSTN water lubrication bearing bushings are cutting-edge solutions specifically engineered for pump applications requiring high-performance, environmentally friendly bearings. Designed as a superior alternative to Thordon SXL and traditional bearing materials, INDRON® TSTN bushings feature a self-lubricating elastoplastic alloy embedded with microcrystalline lubricants and extreme pressure particles. These bushings deliver outstanding wear resistance, low friction, and extended service life—making them ideal for centrifugal pumps, submersible pumps, and irrigation systems.

INDRON® Water Lubrication Bearings Advantages

• Optimized for Water-Lubricated Environments: INDRON® TSTN bushings are engineered to run efficiently in fully water-lubricated conditions, eliminating the need for oil and reducing environmental impact.

• Excellent Abrasion Resistance: The unique elastoplastic alloy composition ensures high wear resistance, even in sandy, sediment-laden, or abrasive water environments.

• Self-Lubricating Microcrystals: Built-in solid lubricants minimize shaft wear and extend bushing life, even under intermittent or delayed lubrication—ideal for dry starts.

• High Load Capacity & Low Friction: Dynamic load capacity up to 10MPa and a PV value of 100MPa·m/s ensure optimal performance under heavy-duty operation.

• Cost-Saving Performance: With longer service life than rubber, Babbitt metal, ceramics, and many polymer materials, INDRON® TSTN bushings reduce both downtime and replacement frequency.
