Mudstack thrust bearings Mud bearings close to the drill string end have a major impact on productivity and reliability. In addition to severe axial and shock loads, these bearings are “lubricated” with highly abrasive mud, which for a bearing is the definition of an extreme operating condition.Mudstack thrust bearings .

Thrust Bearings. Mud Lube and Oil Sealed Thrust Bearing and Thrust Bearing Stacks. Stacked Motor Bearings feature thrust elements with spring-mounted pads running against runners that can be stacked repeatedly to handle virtually any axial load within a limited envelope. Suitable for up- and down-thrust load applications, they are self-aligning.
