Sims Pump Valve

Simsite Guide Bearings

Ask any engineer to describe the ideal material for bearings used in problem environments. What would he say? Most likely, he would tell you that the ideal material would have these characteristics:

• Are Corrosion resistant and Chemical resistant
• Can take Dry-Starts, because of the self-lubricating properties of the graphite!
• Have Superior Mechanical Strength, because they are machined from a solid blocks of structural composite, which enables the bearings to Handle Higher Loads and Last Much Longer.
• Are Not Subject to Internal Voids and Cracks, because they are not cast, molded, or extruded.
• Will Not Beak Down under Pressure, or Temperature like other bearings and bushings.Structural Composite Guide Bearings like SIMSITE® do not break down under Pressure, or Temperature.
• Can operate with Close Casing Ring Clearances, because they will not seize or gall like metallic rings.
• Improves the pump efficiency and reduces shaft vibration, and also improves running time and life-cycle.
• Has a Proven Track Record with thousands of installations in the market place For over 100 years!.
