Bearings

Weatherford Leamco^® PTFE Bearings are self-lubricated, long-life oilwell pumping unit bearings designed to significantly reduce field maintenance requirements. The sleeve-type bearing is made with Weatherford’s proprietary stabilized polytetrafluoro-ethylene (PTFE), a unique composite material that provides strength, weather resistance, self-lubrication and long life. The bearing resists chemical degradation, blow-sand and severe cold. It has demonstrated its performance with several hundred thousand bearings in use around the world.

Weatherford carries the largest inventory of replacement oilfield pumping unit bearing assemblies in the world. Inventory includes the faster-moving structural bearing assemblies for all major pumping unit manufacturers. Weatherford also carries or manufactures parts for obsolete units. Failed bearing assemblies can be exchanged for rebuilt assemblies by Weatherford service trucks, requiring only one trip to the location; thus reducing expensive downtime and production loss.
