The fluted bearings design utilises basic lubrication principles to allow the formation of hydrodynamic water-wedges at the bearing surfaces by flow of water from the grooves.

NOISE AND VIBRATION ABSORPTION

Shaft speed
The maximum operating speed of a Silverline bearing is known to be in excess of 35m/s (7000fpm). The minimum speed is around 0.05m/s (10fpm)

Silverline bearings are suitable for all applications where bearings are submerged or where liquid can be piped for lubrication, and loads and temperatures are not detrimental to rubber.
