NSK's series of bearings for petrochemical applications is designed to reduce operating costs, by increasing mean time between failures (MTBF) on critical equipment such as centrifugal pumps, air-compressors, gascompressors, blowers and ventilators. The bearing solutions address the demanding and hostileenvironments where pumps and compressors are used, and are routinely exposed to heat, chemicals, oils and gases, including refrigerants and ammonia gas. They include the EM/EW cylindrical roller and HPS series of angular contactbearings. These bearings are designed to provide support for the helical rotors used in gas and air compressors, offering higher levels of heat tolerance, chemical stability and increased load carrying capacity.
