    Sundyne Corporation introduced improved tapered land thrust bearings that increase load capacity by 85% through restricting oil flow, modifying the bearing profile, and controlling flatness. The improvements distribute oil flow more uniformly. New part numbers were assigned to ensure only the highest quality components are installed in gearboxes. The redesigned thrust bearings became the standard offering in May 2009.

    Bulletin No. 40.20.38

    Improved Tapered Land Thrust Bearing


    EFFECTIVE DATE: JUNE 22, 2011 REV: E
    AFFECTED MODELS: LMV/BMP/LMC/BMC-31X, 32X, 33X, 34X PAGE 1 OF 2

    Background:
    Tapered land thrust bearings were introduced into Sundyne gearboxes three years
    ago after decades of experience applying this technology to other gearboxes
    manufactured by Sundyne Corporation. Three subtle improvements have resulted in
    a dramatic increase in load capacity for these bearings. Other advantages of the
    bearing design such as dimensional interchangeability, bi-directional operation,
    proprietary leaded-bronze material and low cost have been retained.

    Improvements:
    All three bearing upgrades are related to distributing oil flow more uniformly between
    the rotating shaft and stationary thrust bearing. Restriction at the bearing inside
    diameter has been reduced to encourage higher oil flow rates across the bearing
    surface. The profile of the bearing at the outside diameter has been modified to
    minimize side leakage. Bearing flatness in the load zone is more tightly controlled.
    Laboratory testing shows an 85% increase in load carrying capacity for the new
    thrust bearing design with a more concise repeatability of the overload limit.
    Application guidelines for the thrust bearing selection have not been revised. The
    new thrust bearing provides a minimum safety factor of 2.0.
