White Metal Babbit Bearing manufacturer and repair of damaged White Metal Babbit Bearing by Rebabbitting process
The white metal was discovered in the early eighteenth century by Isaac Babbitt hence, it is called babbitt metal. The white metal Babbitt bearing has vast application as it is ideal bearing for high static and dynamic load-carrying capacity and low sensitivity to edge pressure.
- (1888PressRelease) November 15, 2019 - RA Power Solutions for the last 40 years has been leaders in the manufacturing of new white metal babbitt bearings up to the diameter of 1500 mm and also reconditioning the old, worn-out and damaged bearings by rebabbitting. The rebabbitting process followed by us is strictly by a centrifugal method which ensures uniform and strong bonding with the metal base of the bearing.
The centrifugal equipment used for rebabbitting of white metal purpose is of the latest design and technology which controls not only the temperature and flow of the Babbitt white metal but various other parameters that are essentially required to produce high-quality white metal babbitt bearing. Our system of manufacturing new bearing and repair of old white metal babbitt bearing is a pioneer and highly standardized which results to the execution of repair or manufacturing of new bearing in shortest possible time maintaining the highest tolerances. In case of rebabbitting of old bearings which get damaged, it is of great importance that repairs are executed in minimal possible time as an industry, in general, cannot accept the longer breakdowns.
RA Power Solutions have state of art, modern machining facilities with most of the equipment supported with DRDO which results in maintenance of the critical dimensions of the bearings strictly as per the manufacturer's stipulated tolerances.
All type of white metal Babbitt bearings are repaired and reconditioned, description of few is given below:
# Crankshaft Bearings
# Main journal and crankpin bearings
# Intermediate Bearings
# Pump Bearings
# Crosshead Bearings
# Turbine Bearings
# Main Gear Bearings
# Alternator bearings
# Stern Tube Bearings
# Thrust Pads for Main Shafts, Turbines, Crankshafts
RA Power Solutions generally follows the following process for rebabbitting of white metal Babbitt bearings:
# Initial inspections and assessment of bearing general condition.
# Inspection and recording of dimensions.
# Removal of white babbitt metal in controlled temperature to avoid warping, oxidation, hotspots, etc.
# Degreasing and cleaning of the inner bearing surface.
# Sandblasting of bearing.
# Inspection of steel lining for hardness, crack deduction, blowholes, pitting, etc.
# Preparation of surface for tinning.
# Rebabbitting by the centrifugal system with a specified grade of white metal.
# Inspection for blow holes and ultrasound tests for bonding is done.
# Rough and final machining, maintaining the dimensions and tolerances strictly as per the drawing.
