Bearings
Hydro Tech designs and supplies high-performance thrust bearings for hydroelectric turbines and marine propulsion systems. Our PTFE and lignum vitae bearings offer increased load capacity, reduced friction, and enhanced durability. These solutions address challenges like cavitation and wear while meeting environmental standards for PFAS-free materials.
Marine Bearings
Our lignum vitae marine bearings provide self-lubricating, corrosion-resistant solutions for propeller shafts. These environmentally sustainable bearings require minimal maintenance and are certified to NSF-61 standards. They are ideal for saltwater environments and long-term underwater applications.
Metrology
Hydro Tech offers onsite industrial measurement services using FARO Tracker technology for stationary and rotational alignments. Our precision alignment ensures optimal performance of hydroelectric generators and turbines through laser-level accuracy and real-time data analysis.
Engineering
Our engineering team provides mechanical design, reverse engineering, and condition assessments for hydropower facilities. We specialize in thrust bearing upgrades, oil-to-water conversions, and customized solutions that improve system efficiency and longevity.
Overhauls & Maintenance
We deliver comprehensive overhauls, inspections, and maintenance for hydroelectric generators and turbines. Our services include unit upgrades, component rehabilitation, and preventative maintenance programs to minimize downtime and maximize operational efficiency.
