Temperature Fluctuations

Marine bearings operate across a wide temperature range: from -20°C in holds to +150°C near engines. This affects clearances and lubrication.

Factors

  • Cold in holds and on decks
  • Heat near engines and boilers
  • Fluctuations when moving between climate zones
  • Friction-induced heating

Impact on Bearings

  • Clearance changes
  • Lubricant thickening in cold
  • Lubricant thinning in heat
  • Thermal deformation

MS Bearing Solutions

We offer bearings with heat-resistant lubricant and increased clearances for marine applications.
