Coleherne manufactures a large diameter OEM legacy bearing.

25.5” dia x 34” Motor Bearing Manufacture

Coleherne Ltd recently completed the manufacturing of a very large ring lubricated white metal bearing for an export order from a major UK original equipment manufacturer.
 
This replacement legacy bearing, designed for the main drive motor at a large manufacturing plant, features bronze oiling rings. It was manufactured a modified English Electric drawing using virgin white metal alloy lining and cast-iron backing. The white metal to cast-iron bonding achieved a flawless 100% joint, verified through ultrasonic testing. Furthermore, the bore size underwent modification to meet the updated requirements of the end-user.
 
Impressively, this bearing features a bore diameter of 25½ inches and a length of 34 inches (648mm x 864mm). Weighing approximately 2 tons, it stands as one of the heaviest bearings ever manufactured by Coleherne Ltd.
