Diamond bearings are extremely wear-resistant and last 4 to 10
times
longer than conventional tungsten carbide or other carbide
bearings.
The diamond bearing adopts PDC composite sheet welding to
form
radial or thrust bearing. Make diamond bearings used in mud
motors
and drill bit bearing sets in turbines, extending life and
improving
reliability. Despite precision clearances, these diamond
bearings can
withstand the rigors of drilling fluid lubrication and dynamic
downhole
environments.
It has also been found that diamond radial and thrust bearings
are
used in power generation and rotary steering tools, and the
life of
diamond bearings has been increased by at least three
times
compared to traditional tungsten carbide bearings, which range
from 1
inch to more than 10 inches in diameter.
