Babbitt Bearings

Babbitt Bearing for Engine – RA Power Solutions

Babbitt bearings (also called white metal bearings) are vital components in marine engines and heavy machinery, ensuring smooth rotation and long-lasting performance under extreme loads. Large marine diesel engines use these bearings to support crankshafts, main journals, thrust pads, and other rotating parts.

At RA Power Solutions, we specialise in the manufacturing and rebabbitting of white metal Babbitt bearings tailored to marine engine requirements. With decades of experience, we produce bearings up to 1500 mm outer diameter, matching original drawings or reverse-engineering parts when blueprints are unavailable.

Why Babbitt Bearings Are Ideal for Marine Engines

Babbitt metal is specifically designed to reduce friction and withstand heavy loads in demanding conditions. Its soft alloy surface conforms to slight imperfections in the shaft while providing excellent load distribution and wear resistance. These properties make white metal bearings especially suitable for marine propulsion systems and diesel engines with continuous operation cycles.

Our Manufacturing and Rebabbitting Process

We apply advanced techniques such as centrifugal casting to ensure high-quality bonding of the white metal to the steel or bronze shell, which enhances service life and reliability. We inspect all bearings using ultrasonic testing, precision CNC machining, and detailed dimensional checks to maintain strict OEM tolerances.
