Techemer - Water-Lubricated Bearings & Shaft Seals Manufacturer Since 2008 — ISO-Certified | Fully Patented
Hydro Bearing → Guide Vane Sleeve → UNIV (Dx Type)
It provides rotational support, reduces friction during vane movement, and protects the shaft neck from wear. Traditional copper-based graphite mosaic bearings have long served this purpose — but INDRON® non-metallic guide vane sleeves offer a superior alternative.

Product Description
What is a Guide Vane Sleeve in a Hydro Bearing System?
In hydro turbines, particularly Kaplan and Francis types, the guide vane sleeve is a key component of the hydro bearing system. It provides rotational support, reduces friction during vane movement, and protects the shaft neck from wear. Traditional copper-based graphite mosaic bearings have long served this purpose — but INDRON® non-metallic guide vane sleeves offer a superior alternative.

Why Choose INDRON® Guide Vane Sleeves?
Our INDRON® guide-vane, connecting-rod, and regulating-ring bearings are specially engineered to meet the rigorous demands of hydroelectric power systems.
Oil-free operation
No lubricating oil is needed, reducing maintenance and environmental impact.
Full contact coverage
Larger bearing-to-shaft contact area than copper-based graphite sleeves.
Metal cladding option
Enhances protection for the shaft neck against wear.
Superior shock and vibration resistance
Effectively cushions impacts during the opening/closing of guide vanes, preventing cracks and mechanical fatigue.
Material Performances
GB/T 9867, ISO 4649 and ASTM D5963 Relative Volume Wears Comparison (mm³)
Partial data from THORDON product description
Under the same conditions, INDRON® elastoplastic alloy has less wear than other common nonmetal bearing materials, and some of its models are even better than imported materials,which means INDRON® bearing has longer service life, higher reliability and lower maintenance cost.
Proven Performance in the Field
In 2016, ZHEFU Holding Group Co., Ltd. selected INDRON® integral type non-metallic bearings for guide vane, connecting rod, and regulating ring applications in Units #1 to #3 of the Nam Tha 1 Hydropower Project. Since installation, performance has been stable, with reduced maintenance needs and extended service intervals.
