Babbitt

Reconditioning, deburring and manufacturing

We recondition, re-babbitt, and manufacture radial and axial bearings, utilizing advanced metallizing techniques (centrifugal casting, static casting, TIG welding) to ensure a strong bond between the steel, bronze, or gray/nodular iron backing and the babbitt. The chemical compositions and mechanical properties comply with the ASTM B-23 Technical Standard and its equivalents.

• Bearings for crushers, mineral, cement and aggregate mills.
• Stuffing boxes, stern tube bushings, and bearings for naval vessels.
• Pedestal bearings, generator, shoes and axial skids for hydroelectric plants.
• Fluid pumps, compressors, motors, fans, reducers.
• Winches for mineral hoisting in underground mining.
• Bearings for locomotives and railway cars.
• Steam, hydraulic, wind and gas turbines.
• Rubber, aluminum, brass laminators.

Services include:

• Evaluation of the structural and dimensional integrity of the backrest.
• Centrifugal casting and machining up to 75” diameter.
• Ultrasonic adhesion certification in compliance with Technical Standards.
• Penetrant liquid testing to detect cracks and porosities.
• Leakage testing for the backing or cooling coil.
• Technical report of the process.
