Bearings in the oil and gas sector face extreme axial loads, harsh chemicals, and nonstop cycles. From offshore rigs to motor-pump units, they must perform with zero margin for failure — even in corrosive and remote environments.

Bearings Used in OIL/GAS Industry:

Spherical Thrust Roller Bearings (29 Series)

Manage heavy axial loads in drilling and mud pumps.

Insulated Deep Groove Ball Bearings

Prevent electrical damage in motors and pump systems.

Angular Contact Ball Bearings

Support combined axial and radial loads in high-speed pumps and motor-driven shafts.

Rod End Bearings

Enable motion transfer in rig linkages and valve mechanisms.

Core Challenges in OIL/GAS INDUSTRY:

Corrosion from Saltwater & Chemicals

Bearings are exposed to aggressive fluids, requiring advanced surface protection.

High Axial Loads During Drilling

Rotary systems and vertical shafts generate constant axial thrust.

Nonstop Operation in Remote Environments

Downtime is not an option in rigs and pump stations running 24/7.

Difficult Maintenance Access

Platforms and subsea locations limit frequent bearing servicing.

EDX Solutions Built for Performance:

Corrosion-Resistant Materials & Coatings

Bearings with chrome plating or stainless construction for long-term durability.

Precision Angular Designs

Angular contact bearings built for high-speed and combined load applications.

Insulation Layers in Motor Bearings

Avoid fluting damage and extend motor bearing lifespan.

Low-Maintenance Lubrication Systems

Suitable for remote installations with minimal downtime.
