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.
