Bushing for turbines, heavy-duty bearings for major hydro-mechanical projects, and plain bearings for dams.

The hydropower and hydromechanical sectors are at the forefront of sustainable energy generation and water management. As the demand for efficient, reliable, and environmentally friendly solutions grows, the importance of advanced engineering components like slide bearings and self-lubricating bushings cannot be overstated. These components play a critical role in ensuring the smooth operation of turbines, dam gates, barrages, locks, and mobile bridges. At viiplus.com, we specialize in providing cutting-edge solutions for turbine overhauls, new construction projects, and fluid machinery, leveraging our expertise to deliver unparalleled performance and durability.

The Backbone of Hydropower: Turbine Overhauls and Upgrades

Hydropower turbines are the heart of any hydroelectric plant, and their efficiency directly impacts energy output. Over time, wear and tear can reduce turbine performance, leading to costly downtime and maintenance. This is where our expertise in turbine overhauls comes into play.

We provide state-of-the-art self-lubricating graphite copper sleeves, designed to enhance the longevity and reliability of turbines. These sleeves are engineered to operate under extreme conditions, reducing friction and eliminating the need for external lubrication. This not only minimizes maintenance requirements but also ensures consistent performance even in the most demanding environments.

For older turbines, we offer engineering solutions to upgrade them with the latest self-lubricating sliding sleeve bearing technology. By retrofitting outdated systems with modern components, we help our customers achieve significant improvements in efficiency, reliability, and operational lifespan.

Bushings: The Unsung Heroes of Hydromechanical Systems

In the hydromechanical sector, bushings are essential for the smooth operation of dam gates, barrages, locks, and mobile bridges. Our extensive range of bushings includes:

• Large Size Cast Bushings: Ideal for heavy-duty applications, these bushings are designed to withstand high loads and harsh operating conditions.
• Extra Heavy-Duty Bushings: Engineered for extreme environments, these bushings offer unmatched durability and performance.
• Continuous Cast and Centrifugal Cast Copper Bushings: These precision-engineered bushings provide superior strength and wear resistance, making them perfect for critical applications.
• Self-Lubricating Graphite Gaskets: These gaskets ensure seamless operation by reducing friction and eliminating the need for external lubrication.

Our bushings are tailored to meet the specific needs of each project, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.

The Game-Changer: Self-Lubricating Graphite Spherical Plain Bearings

One of our key innovations is the self-lubricating graphite spherical plain bearing. These bearings are designed to accommodate misalignment, heavy loads, and harsh operating conditions, making them ideal for large hydraulic machinery projects.

The structural design of these bearings allows for custom sizing, ensuring a perfect fit for any application. By incorporating self-lubricating graphite, these bearings reduce maintenance requirements and extend the lifespan of the machinery.
