Medium voltage motors are manufactured for numerous industrial applications and can be found in power plants, steel mills, extrusion plants, press and forge plants, municipalities, chemical plants, rubber plants, oil and gas companies and in the military. CMT completely remanufactures all brands of medium voltage motors. CMT’s services include: in-depth evaluations with documentation, identifying core […]
Ohm’s law — How a lifting magnet work
Industrial Lifting Magnets are very simple machines. They are nothing more than a string of wire wrapped around a magnetic core. This string of wire has resistance (ohms) that govern what current (amps) flows at a given voltage (volts). All DC magnets obey Ohm’s law. A magnet at room temperature, or ambient temperature, has the […]
Centrifugal castings or Babbitt bearings? Both words mean the same, and CMT can make them
Babbitt bearings are vital to all heavy industrial machinery. Babbitt bearings are sleeve bearings made of certain types of alloys, which are melted down and cast to produce the bearing surface. Babbitt bearings are used for high speed, rotating equipment, such as compressors, turbines, electric motors and large power generators (often found in power […]
Benefits of CMT remanufactured industrial crane brakes part 1
Did you know CMT remanufactured crane brakes give you manufacturer’s new quality at a fraction of replacement cost? Remanufactured crane brakes costs normally range from 70% for small brakes to 30% for large units versus replacement. All brakes feature a one-year warranty – the same as the original equipment manufacturer (OEM). Because we remanufacture, not […]
Lifting magnets make the best gift
Looking for a gift for that hard-to-find person? Consider a lifting magnet. It’s the gift that will make things easier at any scrap yard or steel mill. Tip of the day: Always using your magnet? Put a monthly inspection at the top of your list. Just using your magnet a couple times a day or […]

Who uses lifting magnets?
Lifting magnets aren’t your average refrigerator magnets. Some are the size of queen beds. Lifting magnets are used in industrial settings. Magnets are often seen at scrap yards where they are used to move scrap steel and cars. Lifting magnets are also used in steel mills to safely and efficiently move newly made steel. Magnets […]
How does a lifting magnet work?
In the next few weeks, we will take an in-depth look at lifting magnets. Lifting magnets are magnets that are used in scrap handling operations and in steel mills. Some lifting magnets can move cars and several pieces of steel and can be as big as queen-size beds. Most lifting magnets are designed to operate […]
Rotating high speeds call for Babbitt bearings
Babbitt bearings are found in heavy industrial machinery, such as compressors, turbines, electric motors, large power generators – anything high speed that rotates. Babbitt bearings are often times called centrifugal castings and their terms can be used interchangeably. Basically, Babbitt bearings are made when a mold is continuously rotated at a high speed while molten […]
Potato. Potatoe. Centrifugal castings. Babbitt Bearings.
Babbitt bearings are integral to all heavy industrial machinery. Babbitt bearings are sleeve bearings made of certain types of alloys, which are melted down and cast to produce the bearing surface. Babbitt bearings are used for high speed, rotating equipment, such as compressors, turbines, electric motors and large power generators (like those in power plants). The […]
