BEZ Alternator Bearing Under Machining Process

Manufacturing of Babbitt White Metal Generator Bearing for BEZ Alternator

RA Power Solutions Pvt. Ltd. was approached by a company based in the USA regarding the development and manufacturing of a Babbitt white metal BEZ generator bearing. The BEZ generator bearing is fitted on a CKD Skoda diesel generating set. The generator shaft developed ovality due to continuous running of the diesel generating set. The BEZ  alternator bearing got damaged, and as per the technicians, it required replacement.

Major technical details of the BEZ generator white metal Babbitt bearing

S.NO Description Standard Dimensions (with tolerance as Per Drawing)
1. Bearing bore ID 194.28mm
2. Bearing collar ID  
3. Bearing total width 228.50mm
4. Bearing working area width with Radius 202.90mm
5. Bearing working area width without Radius  
6. Bearing OD Dia collar Side 298.67mm
7. Bearing OD Dia In Centre 371.68mm

The white metal grade for the babbitting of bearing used is 84 grade. Development and manufacturing of BEZ Alternator Babbitt white metal bearing.

Considering the urgent requirement of the client, RA Power Solutions took up the production of the bearing as a top priority. We forged the bearing shell due to the non-availability of raw material. After machining, we carried out babbitting of the white metal using the centrifugal process. This process ensures strong and dense bonding of the Babbitt metal with the steel lining. We then completed the final machining of the bearing and maintained all dimensions as per the client’s drawing.

FAQs:

Q1: Why was the bearing shell forged instead of using standard raw material?

We forged the shell because the raw material was not available, ensuring the project could be completed on time.

Q2: Why do you use the centrifugal process for babbitting?

The centrifugal process provides strong and dense bonding between the Babbitt metal and the steel shell, ensuring durability.

Q3: How do you ensure accuracy in bearing dimensions?

We perform final machining with CNC precision and check all measurements against the client’s drawings.

Q4: What type of Babbitt alloy do you use?

We use high-quality, industry-approved Babbitt alloys such as Grade 84 for generator and turbine bearings.

Q5: Can you manufacture bearings if original OEM parts are unavailable?

Yes, we specialize in reverse engineering and manufacturing new bearings even when OEM drawings or parts are not available.
