Manufacturing of White Metal Babbitt Bearing | Development of White Metal Babbitt Bearing

RA Power Solutions is the leader in the design, development, and manufacturing of Babbitt white metal bearings up to a diameter of 1500 mm. We export bearings to numerous nations and supply them to maritime, oil and gas, power supply, and other industries.

Our Expertise in Designing and Manufacturing White Metal Babbitt Bearings

1. Expertise in Reverse Engineering and Custom Design

We specialize in reverse engineering, allowing us to design and develop bearings based on client-provided samples.

2. Manufacturing Based on Client Drawings

The bearings are developed and manufactured according to the drawing submitted by the client.

3. Focus on Dimensions and Metallurgical Accuracy

The dimension and metallurgical properties of Babbitt white metal are of great importance.

4. Recommendation of High-Grade White Metal for Longevity

Based on our experience, we recommend using high-grade white metal to significantly enhance bearing life.

5. On Site Services for Large or Non-Transportable Bearings

If bearings are too heavy or difficult to transport, our experienced engineers can visit your plant anywhere in the world, equipped with CAD-CAM tools and precision instruments.

6. Data Collection and Drawing at Client Site

Our technicians, while staying in your plant, prepare the drawing and collect the dimensions required for the development and manufacturing of Babbitt white metal bearings.

7. Expertise in Restoring Large and Obsolete Bearings

We specialize in drawing and restoring large and old bearings. Our services have helped restart numerous units that were previously shut down due to bearing shortages.

8. Highly Experienced Technical Team

Technicians with experience ranging from 20 to 40 years are available, who deeply understand the importance of critical dimensions required at the time of development and manufacturing of Babbitt white metal.

9. Guaranteed Delivery in Finished Condition

We deliver the bearings in finished condition with a guarantee. We strictly follow the site requirements while developing each bearing.

10. Capability to Manufacture Bearings for Multiple Applications

We regularly develop small and large bearings up to 1500mm diameter for compressors, diesel engines, high-capacity turbines, alternators, rotor shafts, gearboxes, pumps, and all applications.

RANGE OF WHITE METAL BABBITT BEARINGS DEVELOPED AND MANUFACTURED BY RA POWER SOLUTIONS:-

For plain journal bearings, we mill cylindrical, elliptical, and multi-lobe profiles in-house. We offer tilting pad journals, thrust, combined thrust and Journal Bearings, gearbox spindles, seals, and baffles.

Our range of journal and thrust bearings is continuously changing to cover larger and more sophisticated technical products demanded by advanced technology.

BABBITT WHITE METAL LINING:-

To ensure high-quality bonding, we use modern technology for lining white metal on steel casings. Specifically, the application of the centrifugal casting process, backed by an advanced lining method, guarantees strong and reliable white metal bonding.

Moreover, white metal Babbitt-steel lining bonding is crucial. Therefore, at several manufacturing stages, our qualified in-house Level 2 NDT technicians perform ultrasonic and dye penetrant tests on the Babbitt white metal liner to ensure quality.

BABBITT WHITE METAL INGOTS MANUFACTURERS:-

We manufacture and supply Babbitt white metal ingots in various internationally standardized grades and sizes, as per client requirements. Industry engineers widely recognize and use these grades. We also export our bearings to countries across the Americas, including Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, and others.

RA Power Solutions has played a pivotal role in advancing the field of engineering with its remarkable development of white metal Babbitt bearings.

FAQs

1. What is the maximum bearing size RA Power Solutions can manufacture and repair?

Additionally, they handle white-metal Babbitt bearings with bore sizes up to 1,500 mm, covering both new manufacturing and repair (rebabbitting) work.

2. Can RA Power Solutions develop bearings when original drawings are unavailable?

Yes. They provide reverse‑engineering services—creating accurate drawings from worn or damaged old bearings. Even when dimensions are unclear, they use decades of experience to design and manufacture replacements with 100 % performance guarantee .

3. Which Babbitt casting methods are used, and why?

They primarily use centrifugal casting, which is preferred for its superior bonding and density. Static pouring is also available, mainly for specific bearing profiles where centrifugal is unsuitable.

4. What inspections and quality‑control steps are applied during repair?

Before and after rebabbitting, RA Power Solutions performs:
(i) MPI (magnetic particle) and dye-penetrant tests for cracks
(ii) Hardness testing of casing, with hard-spot removal via scooping
(iii) Shot- or sand‑blasting to prepare the casing
(iv) Ultrasonic testing to verify white‑metal bonding to steel
(v) CNC machining for dimensional accuracy according to drawings
These steps ensure enhanced lifecycle and performance, often exceeding the originals.

5. What industries and machinery types does RA Power Solutions serve?

They serve a wide range including marine, power generation, diesel engines, pumps, compressors, turbines, alternators, rolling mills, and more. Their bearings are used worldwide in sectors like oil & gas, shipping, cement, steel, and heavy engineering.
