We are committed to providing OEMs and end-users with the optimum solutions to their bearing requirements, on time and within budget.

Our engineering, manufacturing, and repair experience spans a wide range of applications, from the largest turbine and generator bearings operating in nuclear stations to immense vertical guide journal bearings in hydroelectric powerhouses. We have designed and manufactured tilting pad thrust bearing assemblies to support loads in excess of 2,000,000 pounds. Our mission is to provide our clients with efficient, reliable, and cost-effective solutions that meet their specific needs.

Engineering Services

At Pioneer Motor Bearing, we offer expert engineering services that leverage our team's extensive experience and knowledge. Our engineers have "seen it all" and can work with you to design efficient and cost-effective solutions to your bearing problems. We provide engineering trouble-shooting and analysis of rotor-bearing systems, turnkey custom-designed solutions for large journal and thrust bearings to mitigate or eliminate problems in rotor-bearing systems in older existing machinery, and invention, development, and deployment of our proprietary Fluid Pivot technology for tilting pad radial babbitt bearings for high-speed lightly loaded rotating machinery or, for steady rest bearing applications requiring superior bearing dynamic alignment.

Our engineering services are designed to help our clients achieve optimal performance, efficiency, and reliability for their large rotating equipment. We work closely with our clients to understand their unique requirements and provide customized solutions that meet their specific needs.
