Bearings for power generation
In power generation, equipment availability is critical. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies bearings, split plummer block housings, lubricants, and mounting tools for turbines, generators, draft fans, feed pumps, and gearboxes. With over 80 years in the industry, we support plants and workshops with components selected according to the application and advice for assembly and planned maintenance.
What power generation uses
Critical machines in a power generation plant operate under severe demands: turbines and generators rotate at high speed with combined loads, draft fans handle flow with temperature and dust, feed pumps withstand pressure, and gearboxes transmit torque with precision requirements. Planned maintenance is the standard, and each component must be selected to last until the next scheduled shutdown.
For these machines, spherical roller bearings are used in supports that must absorb misalignment and high radial loads, cylindrical roller bearings where radial load is high and high load capacity is required, and angular contact ball bearings at points that combine axial and radial loads, such as in gearboxes and generators. Split plummer block housings SNL simplify mounting and replacement on fan and pump shafts. Appropriate grease and lubrication extend service life, and mounting and maintenance tools enable precise interventions without damaging components.
Selection criteria are based on load, speed, temperature, and type of stress. During mounting, cleanliness, fit, and alignment are controlled; for lubrication, the type of grease and frequency are defined according to the duty cycle. For applications with vibration or misalignment, spherical roller bearings and split plummer block housings offer advantages. Proper tools prevent impacts and contamination, key to reliability.
We work with quotes by part number or by application: if you provide the drawing, designation, or machine data, we advise you on choosing the component. We ship nationwide and handle technical inquiries via WhatsApp. With over 80 years of experience, MR Accesorios Industriales supports the energy industry with solutions for maintenance and operation.

Frequently asked questions
Which bearings are suitable for a draft fan?
For draft fans, which handle high temperatures and possible misalignment, spherical roller bearings or split plummer block housings SNL are typically used. The choice depends on load and speed. Request a quote via WhatsApp with application data.
How do I choose lubrication for power generation equipment?
Lubrication is defined by temperature, speed, and bearing type. High-performance greases are common in these machines. At MR, we advise you on selecting the right grease and relubrication frequency.
Do you have tools for bearing mounting?
Yes, we have mounting and maintenance tools to install bearings without damaging them. This is key during plant shutdowns. Contact us via WhatsApp based on the type and size of bearing you need to mount.
