Bearing is one of the most important parts for high speed rotating equipment, like oil field decanter centrifuge. A high quality and suitable model bearing plays an very important role on the lifetime of decanter centrifuge.
How to ensure suitable bearing for decanter centrifuge
1) Choose original famous brand bearings. For international market, the best choice small bearing brand is SKF, while FAG is the best choice for big bearing. For save cost, NSK bearing can also be a good choice.
