Centrifugal Casting
Centrifugal casting is a reliable rebabbitting method that will restore the quality and performance of your bearings. In short, we pour molten babbitt onto the bearing while it is spinning at the proper RPM to create a centrifugal force. The component is then rapidly cooled to strengthen its bond and integrity.
Arc Flame Spray
Our arc flame spray application is a popular metal coating solution. We use an electric arc process that heats metal into a molten state. Compressed air is then introduced to spray the molten material evenly and quickly onto the surface being restored. The new coating will be machined back to OEM specifications.
Reverse Engineering
You can rely on Fusion for reverse engineering of bearing components that are no longer available from the original OEM. We have the capabilities to reverse engineer and duplicate bearing components with equal or superior quality to the original product. Give us a call to discuss your reverse engineering needs.
Emergency Turbine, Motor, & Pump Bearing Repairs
We know how important turbines, motors, and pumps are to industrial applications like power generation. That’s why we take our emergency repair services very seriously. With a strong network of transportation companies in the U.S., we can arrange for same- or next-day pickup of your parts. Then our team will work diligently to get your bearings repaired or rebuilt in the timeliest manner possible. Though we may work fast on emergency jobs, quality is never compromised. Minimize plant shutdowns and extend the life of your bearings by calling Fusion Babbitting when you need emergency bearing repairs.
Bearings, Shoes/Pads & Bronze Oil Rings
Bearings consist of a series of pads supported in a retainer or carrier ring. The pads are all free to tilt which results in a self-forming hydrodynamic film. The design is set to be self-equalizing to balance the load between the pads. This intentionally accommodates any deflection or misalignment between the bearing and collar.
Slide shoe bearings are hydrodynamic bearings cast of a steel with a babbitt overlay applied. These are made to allow flexibility, lift and alignment. The shoe itself rests on a ball and the slide shoe bearing is fixed in relation to the sliding ring.
Oil Rings, also known as slinger rings, are used in ring lubricated bearings. These rings essentially ride around the bottom half of the bearing and on the shaft, dipping into an oil reservoir. The ring’s job is to distribute oil into the bearing and keep it lubricated.
Fusion Babbitting provides solutions for your needs when it comes to Bearings, Shoes/Pads and Bronze Oil Rings. Contact us with any questions or needs today.
