Why Rebabbitting Is Important

Rebabbitting brings a damaged or worn bearing back to OEM-level efficiency by restoring:

• Correct bearing geometry
• Load-carrying capacity
• Lubrication flow
• Vibration and heat control

Signs Your Bearing Needs Rebabbitting

If you notice any of these issues, the bearing likely needs immediate inspection or rebabbitting:

• Wear marks or uneven surfaces
• Scoring, pitting, or blistering
• Burn marks or discoloration
• Lubrication breakdown
• Excess vibration or noise

These symptoms often indicate deeper problems in the shaft line or lubrication system, so early diagnosis is crucial.

How Rebabbitting Is Done

Inspection & Non-Destructive Testing

Technicians inspect the bearing for cracks, alignment issues, and material fatigue.

1. Old Babbitt Removal
   They melt or machine off the worn Babbitt layer from the shell.
2. Surface Preparation
   They clean, tin, and prep the shell to ensure a strong bond.
3. New Babbitt Casting
   High-grade babbitt metal—typically tin-based—is poured or centrifugally cast.
4. Machining to OEM Specs
   They bore, chamfer, and finish the new Babbitt surface to precise OEM tolerances.
5. Final QA & Clearance Check
   The bearing is tested for geometry, hardness, bond strength, and fit.

Why Babbitt Metal Is Used

Babbitt works as a soft, protective layer that:

• Embeds contaminants (protecting the shaft)
• Supports hydrodynamic lubrication
• Reduces friction and heat
• Prevents catastrophic damage during overloads

High-Quality Babbitt Alloy Application

1. We remove the white metal of the bearing under controlled temperature.
2. We shot-blasted the bare bearing steel casing for proper cleaning.
3. We perform a hardness test on the bearing casing and remove all hard spots by scooping.
4. They test the bearing casing for hardness and scoop out any hard spots.
5. The bearing casing is subject to crack detection by the MPI process.
6. The bearings are centrifugally cast.
7. All the bearings after rebabbitting are subject to ultrasound tests to check the bonding with the base metal
8. We perform the final machining on CNC machines, maintaining close tolerances as per the requirements.

After grinding the crankpin and main journal of the crankshaft, undersized bearings are required. Manufacturers and their agents often do not have these undersized bearings readily available. RA Power Solutions maintains a large stock of undersized bearings for crankpins and main journals. We supply bearings for main and auxiliary engines of all popular makes and models installed on vessels.

The bearings are imported from Japan and Europe. The ready availability of bearings reduces the downtime of the engine. RA Power Solutions supplies main journal and crankpin bearings with a guarantee of satisfactory performance for 2,500 hours of operation or 12 months from the date of dispatch.

We maintain the stock of bearings for the following engines:

Wartsila , Daihatsu , MWM , Caterpillar , MaN , MaK , B&W , Sulzer , Bergen , Detroit Diesel , Stork Werkspoor , Pielstick , Deutz , Yanmar , MTU , Cummins , Nohab Polar , Caterpillar , Mitsubishi , Yanmar , MaK 551 , MaK 552 , MaK 453 , MaK 451 AK , MaK 452 AK , Deutz 540 , Deutz 358 , Deutz 350, Pielstick PC 2.2 PC 2.5, Wartsila 524 ,Wartsila 824 TS, Sulzer 6 AL 25/30, Sulzer 5 AL 25/30 MWM TBD 484, MaN 40/54 , MaN Sulzer 12 ASV 25/30 , Sulzer 16 ZV 40/48 , Deutz BV 16M 540 , B&W 6L 45 GFCA, MAN B&W 55/GF, CAT D353, B&W 5T23LH, Daihatsu 6 PST 26D, Daihatsu 6 PSHTb 26M, Mak 6MU 451 AK, Deutz 6M 628, Caterpillar 3512, Deutz BV 12M 628, MWM TBD 234, WICHMANN 5AX, SKL 8NVD 48A-2U, Pielstick PC 2.2 LNR, Caterpillar 3508 and more.

We have been repairing crankshafts for over forty-five years. In some cases, we encounter crankpins or main journals that require reducing the diameter beyond the manufacturer’s last specified limits. In this situation, the user has no option but to reject the crankshaft and purchase the new crankshaft, the cost of which is exorbitant, and the procurement period is long.

RA Power Solutions can manufacture and supply bearings of sizes that exceed the manufacturer’s last recommended undersized size in the maintenance manual. The supply of these special-size bearings, such as those for the Yanmar engine, helps save the crankshaft from rejection.

For more information regarding bearings for the Yanmar engine, please email us at rajshahani@rapowersolutions.com, or info@rapowersolutions.com, or call us at +91 9582647131 or +91 9810012383.
