Kingsbury Tilting Pad Journal Bearings support high-powered rotors with flooded or directed lubrication, and are built to run indefinitely in turbines, pumps, compressors, and gearboxes across power generation, oil and gas, and general industry.

Leading Edge Groove (LEG®) Journal Bearing

Kingsbury LEG (Leading Edge Groove) journal bearings are designed for demanding turbomachinery applications where performance, thermal stability, and oil efficiency are critical. The LEG design delivers measurable gains in load capacity, temperature reduction, and power loss mitigation—making it a preferred solution for OEMs and retrofit engineers alike.

Between Pad Groove (BPG) Journal Bearing

Kingsbury’s patented BPG journal bearing places the oil groove between pads to optimize flow and reduce power loss. With fewer components and a smaller footprint than flooded designs, the BPG delivers exceptional stability and efficiency in turbines, compressors, and other high-speed rotating machinery.

Flooded Lubrication Journal Bearings

 Kingsbury’s Flooded Lubrication Journal Bearings deliver stable operation and long service life for turbines, compressors, and other rotating machinery. Each bearing uses a pivoted shoe design to maintain consistent oil film support and vibration control under demanding operating conditions.
