Rebabbitting and Machining Procedures followed by RA Power Solutions
1. Obtain all dimensions and inspect for abnormal or noticeable damage to the bearing shell and surface.
2. Remove the old Babbitt and inspect the bonding surface and bearing shell for defects.
3. Prepare a bearing shell before babbitting. We blast the bearing shell with a shot.
4. Checking the hardness of bearing shell and removing hard spots by the scooping process.
5. Crack detection of bearing shell by MPI process.
6. If required, we also undertake dye penetrant tests and ultrasonic tests.
7. Cast Babbitt by centrifugal process.
8. Machine splits, assemble bearing, and rough machine.
9. Ultrasonically inspect the Babbitt bond.
10. Assemble the bearing and finish machining the bore and thrust faces.
11. Machine and drill oil reliefs, thermocouples, and oil ports.
12. Prepare bearing for shipper. (deburr, assemble, paint)
13. Record all finished dimensions and file for future service.

FAQs
Babbitt bearing repair involves inspecting, cleaning, and restoring worn or damaged Babbitt-lined bearings to extend their operational life. This can include rebabbitting, machining, and final inspection.
Rebabbitting is the process of removing the old or damaged Babbitt metal lining from a bearing shell and replacing it with a new layer. This restores the bearing’s original specifications and performance.
Rebabbitting helps in restoring worn bearings without the need for complete replacement. It’s a cost-effective solution that brings back the bearing’s load-carrying capacity and reduces downtime.
Most types of Babbitt-lined bearings, including journal bearings, thrust bearings, and sleeve bearings used in turbines, generators, pumps, and marine engines, can be rebabbitted.
The timeline depends on the size and condition of the bearing, but typically, the process can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks.
