Babbitt bearings are used in critical applications like turbines, large motors, fans and blowers. They are used in power plants, military ships and in industrial manufacturing facilities. Pictured is a large mill drive that had a bearing failure. CMT removed, remanufactured, dressed the journal, installed and commissioned the motor all back into service in 36 […]
Turn to CMT for all Babbitt bearings needs
Babbitt bearings rely on oil-fed lubrication to work and can be in service for decades in turbines, large motors, fans and blowers used in power plants, military ships and in industrial manufacturing facilities. When Babbitt bearings come out of tolerance or fail, turn to CMT. CMT uses the spin cast method to ensure the highest […]
Babbitt bearings can have a long life with continuous monitoring and proper lubrication
Babbitt bearings are used in critical industrial applications like turbines, large motors, fans and blowers. They can be found in power plants, on military ships and in all industrial manufacturing facilities. Babbitt bearing failure often occurs because of maintenance issues: Lubrication deficiencies, contamination, mechanical alignment or vibration issues. With monitoring and proper lubrication, Babbitt bearings […]
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 […]
Babbitt bearings power heavy industrial equipment
Heavy industrial machinery relies on Babbitt bearings. Babbitt bearings are sleeve bearings that are made with certain types of alloys. These alloys are melted down and cast to make the bearing surface. Babbitt bearings are used for compressors, turbines, electric motors and large power generators. Babbitt bearings are also called centrifugal castings.
Babbitt bearings used for high speeds in heavy industrial machinery
Heavy industrial machinery uses Babbitt bearings. Babbitt bearings are sleeve bearings made from different alloys that are melted down and cast to make the bearing surface. Babbitt bearings are used for rotating equipment at high speeds. Some examples of where Babbitt bearings are used include: turbines, electric motors, compressors and large power generators. Babbitt bearings […]
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 […]
Pop Quiz: What are centrifugal castings?
Centrifugal castings are made when a mold is continuously rotated at high speed while molten metal is poured in. The molten metal in a centrifugal casting is thrown toward the inside of the mold wall from the G forces inside. The molten metal solidifies after cooling. After cooling, any impurities can be machined away that have […]
