The main advantage of the helical design is the high performance. The helical design significantly optimizes shaft lubrication when compared against the conventional straight-design bearing. The result is a proven reduction in shaft wear and an extended service life. The design incorporates two pitch configurations: right- hand and left-hand helix, promoting continuous water ingress, generating a lubricating film with hydrodynamic wedging effect, which considerably reduces metal-to-rubber contact, even under low-speed conditions and critical loads.

Helical DesignThe second purpose of the lubricating film is to reduce heat and flush out impurities during operation, such as sand and other abrasive particles that may damage the shaft. The helical design features a distinctive and superior characteristic compared to the straight-design bearing. Shaft support occurs at tangential contact points, which minimizes inter-material friction and reduces wear, thereby extending the product's service life. In the straight-design bearing, the shaft rests against the full stave surface. Multiple tangential shaft support points Water lubricating film
Helical Design vs. Straight ◈ Significantly optimizes shaft lubrication, reducing wear by a minimum of 30%. Through advanced engineering design, TIME`s bearings deliver a measurable wear reduction extending service life. m a x i m i z e p e r f o r m a n c e . ◈ Tangential contact shaft support geometry minimizes inter-material friction and wear. The bearing's load distribution is based on tangential contact points, a design principle that reduces the contact stress area, decreasing the coefficient of friction directly translating to lower mechanical degradation over operational cycles. ◈ Reduces frictional heat generation and enhances contaminant evacuation during operation. Mitigating thermal buildup caused by friction. Furthermore, the design promotes the active flushing of abrasive contaminants, including sand, silica particulates, and other abrasive foreign bodies away from the shaft contact surface, preventing accelerated wear and protecting shaft integrity during continuous operation.
