Water-lubricated bearings are finding increasingly wide use in various branches of industry. As such, they may also be encountered in hydro power industry. They are also increasingly frequently employed in bearing systems of marine shaft propulsions and water pumps [1]. This rising popularity is due to a number of reasons [2]. First of all, their simple construction has direct impact on the level of pricing which is usually quite attractive. Furthermore, this type of technology fits well into the trend of environmentally-friendly solutions since waterlubricated bearings do not constitute a source of pollution. The lubricating agent - water circulating in a closed system and in the simplest bearings it may even be taken directly from the surroundings.
