At ThermoBearing Solutions, industrial engineers combating turbine failures in Dubai's 50°C ambient temperatures trust our silicon nitride hybrid bearings to maintain rotational precision at 620°C surface temperatures. With regional technical centers in Stuttgart, Dubai, and Singapore, we deliver 24/7 engineering support matched to local operational challenges across three continents.

Critical Challenges in High-Temperature Bearing Applications

2024 industry data reveals 68% of bearing failures in thermal plants originate from:

  • Thermal expansion mismatch (coefficient: 3.2×10-6/°C steel vs. 0.8×10-6/°C Si3N4)
  • Lubricant carbonization above 300°C
  • Electrochemical corrosion in coastal environments
