In addition to the very successful Triplex Ceramic ball bearing system that imparts very rapid acceleration to the turbocharger rotors, Comp Turbo also produces turbochargers that have conventional floating sleeve bearing systems. The sleeve bearing systems have been used in commercial turbochargers for decades and consist of two floating sleeve bearings, spaced apart axially and the bearings are free to rotate in the bearing housing bore. They are accompanied by a stationary thrust bearing that carries rotor thrust forces in both axial directions.
