In addition to railroad applications, AP bearings are successfully used in many types of industrial applications. This can be attrib- uted to many factors including the bearing’s high load carrying ca- pacity and its adaptability to a wide variety of applications.• AP bearings are adaptable to a wide range of applications. in new designs and changeovers KOYO 6204 Bearing from other bearing types. AP bearings range in bore size from 101.6 to 203.2 mm (4 to 8 inches). Optional auxiliary parts can be added to suit a wide range of mounting configurations.

Bearings support the rotor in industrial rotating machinery, transferring loads from the rotating components to the stationary casing. Thrust bearings accommodate the axial loads, and journal bearings AP Bearings for Industrial Application accommodate the radial loads. Hydrodynamic bearings are commonly used in large turbines, generators, compressors, gearboxes and pumps in the power generation and oil.
