Adjustable Clearances

 

Pads with adjustable clearance offer unique flexibility to our customers for assembly and operation. We can offer pads whose clearance can be adjusted by two methods:


Mechanical

Specially designed screws, accessible from outside the bearing OD, allow customers to adjust clearances without disassembling the bearing.


Manual

A layer of shims placed inside the pivot allow customers to alter clearances by changing shim combinations, after disassembling the bearing
