Babbitt Bearings

Custom Equipment

Two custom-designed machines enable us to spin cast bearings up to 48 inches in diameter. These machines employ bottom draw pouring furnaces and inert gas pressurization of the cavity being cast. This guarantees an oxidation-free environment for the molten metal.

This is how a coreless casting looks just after being produced on our machine. With the centrifugal casting process, all impurities migrate to the center or waste area with all virgin babbitt securely suspended on the walls of the shell, which yields a completely void-free casting and superior grain structure for extended wear and reliability.

After the bearings are cast, they are proof-machined and ultrasonically inspected for bond integrity.
