Keeping your machinery in top shape requires attention to every component, especially the bearings. At Fusion Babbitting Co., Inc., we specialize in babbitt bearing repair and offer quality bearing repair services that ensure your equipment operates smoothly and efficiently. With over 40 years of experience, we guarantee that our repair techniques will meet or exceed the original specifications. Let’s dive into the world of babbitt bearing repair and discover why it is essential for your machinery’s longevity and performance.

Babbitt bearings play a vital role in the smooth operation of heavy machinery by reducing friction and wear. Over time, these bearings can degrade due to constant use and harsh operating conditions. Repairing and maintaining babbitt bearings is crucial to prevent equipment failure, costly downtime, and expensive replacements.

Benefits of Regular Babbitt Bearing Repair

Regular repair and maintenance of babbitt bearings offer several advantages:

• Prolonged Equipment Life: Routine maintenance helps avoid premature bearing failure, extending the lifespan of your machinery.
• Optimal Performance: Properly maintained bearings ensure efficient operation, minimizing friction and wear.
• Cost Efficiency: Preventative maintenance reduces the risk of significant breakdowns, saving money on repairs and replacements.
• Reduced Downtime: Regular maintenance keeps your machinery running, minimizing unexpected failures and downtime.

At Fusion Babbitting, we provide a wide range of babbitt bearing repair services tailored to meet your specific needs. Our expert technicians use the latest equipment and techniques to ensure the highest quality repairs. Here are some of the key services we offer:

Repair, Rebabbitting, and Rebuilding Services

Our repair, rebabbitting, and rebuilding services restore your bearings to their original condition. We take pride in our ability to repair and rebuild bearings to meet or exceed OEM specifications. Our team thoroughly inspects each bearing, utilizing advanced methods such as ultrasonic testing to ensure superior quality.

Centrifugal Casting and ReBabbitting

Centrifugal casting is a critical part of our rebabbitting process. This technique enhances bond strength and bearing integrity, resulting in durable and reliable performance. We maintain an inventory of certified babbitt, allowing us to match any OEM specification your bearing may require.

Arc Flame Spray Application

For components that have worn out, our arc flame spray application is an effective solution. This process builds up the metal coating on the bearing’s outside diameter and housings. The new coating is then machined to original OEM specifications, restoring the component to like-new condition.

Reverse Engineering of Babbitt Bearings

When original drawings or specifications are unavailable, our reverse engineering services come into play. We can create new bearing components that meet or exceed OEM specifications. This service is essential for maintaining older machinery or custom equipment where parts are no longer readily available.
