Slide bearing technology

Miba is one of the world's leading manufacturers of slide bearing for engines, turbines and compressors. A slide bearing also offers advantages in the gearboxes of wind turbines and aircraft turbines.

 

Unique expertise combined in Miba bearing technology

Miba slide bearings allow a wide range of applications: At moderate speeds, dynamic loads of up to 140 MPa are possible; at low loads, speeds of up to 160 m/s.

 

Thanks to our extensive expertise in applied engineering and materials, we can offer custom-built and cost-effective solutions where other bearing technologies reach their limits. Our bearings use a hydrodynamic film to contact the shafts. Depending on the application, the use of a slide bearing can bring advantages over roller bearings.
