Oil & Gas Bearings
The demands on the machinery used for oil and gas exploration and extraction are challenging. AEC has helped provide oilfield bearing solutions and deliver optimal performance for the oil & gas industry since 1973. The average cost for offshore rigs can be as much as 15 to 20 times greater than the average cost for land rigs and can vary between different types of oil rigs. The cost of oil rigs and drilling equipment invariably represents a very large capital expenditure for an oil producer. AEC is leading in the ability to ensure precision required solutions to complex problems. Our experience will reinforce reliable operation and boost your productivity.
We pride ourselves on supplying a wide range of bearings specifically designed for oilfield applications. Equipment used in oil and gas explorations are subject to heavy loads, extremely high temperatures, impactful contaminants, and constant vibration. Longer service life and extended maintenance intervals of this equipment can improve production and reduce operating costs. AEC utilizes advanced analytical tools and latest bearing design programs to achieve optimum design and surface profiles.
Simply put, AEC is quality. Our materials combine high strength with excellent wear resistance and durability, yielding high performance bearings for all types of service conditions thus reducing maintenance and operating costs for end users.
