Our bearings are manufactured to our customers’ specific requirements, such as MIL-B-18558B, and can be configured in many ways. We regularly produce these bearings in weights up to and over 7,000 pounds for combat use. Structures can be verified to meet grade A shock requirements per MIL-S-901E and are designed to continue operating in flooded machinery compartments. We centrifugally cast our babbitted bearings in house and test our bearings per DOD-STD-2183. Utilizing a variety of our Navy and ABS approved procedures, we can ensure the successful operation of our equipment, even in the harshest of operating conditions. Stern Tube & Strut Bearings AMB designs, engineers, and manufactures many types of water lubricated bearings weighing up to and over 40,000 pounds for both commercial and military uses. These bearings are manufactured in stave and partial arc systems for: conventional & nuclear powered submarines, Naval surface vessels, and other industrial equipment. Our naval water lubricated bearings are engineered in accordance with NAVSHIPS 803-1385664, and are supplied with liners that are manufactured and tested against MIL-DTL-17901. We can easily adapt our naval bearings to any unique set of requirements and support a variety of journal diameters ranging from 8 inches to over 40 inches. Thrust Bearings We can design and build thrust bearings to meet specific needs for propulsion shafting and industrial equipment. The USCGC Healy is a good example. The thrust bearings have withstood the most rigorous testing having been employed on an icebreaker operating in the northern waters of Alaska and the Bering Sea for many years. AMB is capable of producing a tilting pad thrust bearing for your needs whether it is small in weight, or over 30,000 pounds. Advanced Liner Technology AMB engineers application specific bearing liners for various naval and industrial applications. Liners can be tested in house to ensure optimum performance either with full/partial scale testing or finite element analysis. We can incorporate these upgrades into new ship class designs, as well as retrofit previously babbitted bearing systems. Synthetic liners offer the benefit of having little to no environmental impact and can be replaced on site with the shaft in place. Engineering Services Full Scale Prototypes & Applied Research When Mission Critical Systems require more than finite element analysis for design validation, we build full and partial scale prototypes and fixtures that can accurately represent the operating environment and loads experienced by Bearing Propulsion Systems. Since the use of Nuclear Propulsion, AMB has been a trusted partner in the engineering, testing, and manufacturing of these complex systems.
