Babbitt Bearings Tin-based bearings factory directly China

Babbitt bearings are found in pumps, motors, fans, industrial equipment, and turbines. Basically, they support the weight of the shaft and provide a non-damaging surface to the high-speed shaft that rotates. The lining of a bearing is bonded with Babbitt, which is a soft alloy featuring a low-melting point. When contamination occurs or failure happens in the lubrication system, the softer alloy wears out instead of the shaft.

Babbitt bearings are used for oil-lubricated systems and feature different designs. These are based on the shaft speed and stability, bearing load and cooling, plus the alignment, and electrical requirements. It’s possible to fit a Babbitt bearing with temperature and vibration sensors or water-cool them as necessary.

Overall, Babbitt bearings require minimal maintenance and run for a long time without any attention. Not only do they support mechanical parts, but they also protect against frictional degradation. The more powerful and heavy that an engine is, the stronger your bearings must be.

If you plan to restore an antique car, you might find that you’ll need Babbitt bearings to complete your task. We’ve got the steps you need to get the job done right.
