Water lubricated journal bearing on pumps

I'm doing a research regarding water lubricated journal bearing performance....I can't find report on this area...So need some guildance...Thanks..

RE: Water lubricated journal bearing on pumps

They are very common on vertical turbine pumps and also on ship propeller shafts.  In addition to metals such as bronze, rubber or wood (lignum vitae on ships) are not uncommon.

RE: Water lubricated journal bearing on pumps

You might try contacting major manufacturers of vertical turbine pumps for further information.  Many have helpful engineering data and practical experience.  Some of the substantial manufacturers include IDP, Fairbanks Morse, Aurora, Byron Jackson, Johnston and Floway.  There are many others.
