Water Guide Bearing Bushing For Pumps Replacement To Thordon SXL

INDRON® TSTN Water Guide Bearing Bushings are advanced, water-lubricated bearings designed to replace Thordon SXL in pump systems. Engineered with self-lubricating microcrystals and extreme pressure particles, these bushings deliver exceptional wear resistance, low friction, and extended service life. Ideal for heavy-duty applications, INDRON® TSTN bushings are widely used in water pumps, marine rudder bearings, and stern tube bearings, offering a reliable and cost-effective solution for industries requiring high-performance bearing materials.

INDRON® TSTN Water Guide Bearing Bushings Features and Benefits

1. Superior Wear Resistance: INDRON® TSTN bushings feature a unique elastoplastic alloy that provides an excellent balance of low friction and high wear resistance, ensuring durability even in abrasive environments.

2. Self-Lubricating Design: Embedded with long-lasting self-lubricating microcrystals, these bushings protect the shaft sleeve and reduce maintenance needs, even under intermittent lubrication conditions.

3. Dry Start Capability: Designed to support dry starts, INDRON® TSTN bushings are ideal for applications where lubrication may be delayed or insufficient.

4. High Load Capacity: With a dynamic bearing surface pressure of up to 10MPa and a PV value of 100MPa·m/s under water lubrication, these bushings are suitable for heavy-duty operations.

5. Versatile Applications: Available in various configurations (integrated, split, bearing bush, slat bearing bushes, centrifugal coating Dx, and multi-layer PLYDx), INDRON® TSTN bushings meet the needs of diverse pump types and marine systems.

6. Cost-Effective Solution: Compared to traditional metal and non-metal bearings, INDRON® TSTN bushings offer a longer service life, reducing replacement and maintenance costs.
