Frac Pump Bearings

A catalog cylindrical comes with a cage to guide the rollers and prevent skewing.

That cage also limits how many rollers can fit, capping the bearing’s load capacity.

EBT’s High-Load Bearing changes the equation.

By eliminating the cage, this design uses I.D. rollers and flanged guidance pins to stop skewing while strengthening the bearing itself. More rollers fit in the same space, raising dynamic load capacity and delivering performance standard designs can’t touch.

Advantages

• 23% more rolling elements = higher dynamic and static load capacity
• Built to keep your gear safe in transit and on-site. Tough enough for the road. Clean enough for the yard.
• Up to 2x the rod load capacity compared to traditional designs
• Extended bearing life (L50) under variable RPMs and real-world frac conditions
• Patented cageless design
• Drop-in compatibility with new and existing frac pumps
• Oversized outer races
  

As an ISO 9001-certified manufacturer, EBT enforces strict standards on every bearing that leaves our shop. Nothing ships without a hands-on inspection. We know the real-world cost of a failed bearing in oil & gas. The High-Load Bearing was built to handle the harshest conditions head-on.

At EBT, control means everything. We design every component in-house and oversee how each one is built. Our global partners follow our specifications down to the letter. From material sourcing to final inspection, the process never leaves our hands.

Manufacturing Process 

• In-House Design Expertise
  Every bearing starts with our engineering team, built to precise load, speed, and fit demands.
• Material & Specification Control
  We specify the metals, heat treatments, and lubrication strategy. No changes happen without our approval.
• Vetted Global Manufacturing Partners
  We work only with trusted global factories in Europe, India, and select Asian markets, with qualified manufacturing.
• Production Oversight & Change Control
  Every process change or tooling update is reviewed and approved by EBT before it happens.
• Custom Work Instructions
  Each bearing type has precision inspection and assembly protocols for consistency.
• Inbound Quarantine & Precision Inspection
  Incoming parts are quarantined, stabilized, and measured with tools like the Zeiss CMM before stocking.
• Advanced Testing for Assurance
  Random destructive tests and metallurgy lab checks verify structure, hardness, and integrity.
• Serialization & Traceability
  Every bearing is serialized for complete traceability.
• Continuous Feedback Loop
  Field data, customer feedback, and failure analysis fuel the next generation of designs.

This is what precision bearing technology looks like, built with complete control from concept to delivery.

High-Load Bearings in Oil & Gas 

Meeting Industry Challenges

The frac basins are unpredictable, and your bearings take the hit. From abrasive fluids to nonstop vibration, a frac pump bearing is under constant attack.

EBT’s High-Load Bearing is built to handle it:

• Pressure spikes
• Harsh, debris-filled environments
• Critical uptime
• Round-the-clock reliability

With a patented cageless design, oversized race options, and the capacity to handle massive rod loads, it’s the bearing the frac industry has been waiting for.
