Bearing manufacturers face a plethora of challenges every day, regardless of where they are located and the industries they serve. One such company is Philadelphia-based Kingsbury Inc., which has been around for 108 years, and is recognized as a technological leader in the development of all types of bearings for rotating machinery.
Company founder Albert Kingsbury, Ph.D., invented the hydrodynamic thrust bearing in 1912. Since then, Kingsbury has consistently designed and manufactured a wide range of tilt-pad fluid film thrust and journal bearings, with hundreds of thousands of installations worldwide.
