A gearbox is a mechanical device that uses gears and shaft assemblies to provide speed and torque from a power source (like an electric motor) to another machine. Gearboxes are designed in many different configurations for many different purposes. Gearbox repair is required when something in a gearbox breaks or wears out. Gearbox repair can […]

Don’t break the bank on this year’s budget: Consider pump repairs
Industry moves fluids with large industrial pumps of all shapes, sizes and designs. Some types are submersible, while other types of pumps are part of a pump and electric motor assembly. Pump repair is done when these types of machines fail or wear out in service. Pump repairs require precision measurement and machining of renewal […]
Bigger, faster, better: That’s what journal bearings are used for
Journal bearings are nothing more than a journal rotating in a bearing. A journal is essentially a shaft. The shaft rotates in the bearing with a layer of lubricant that separates the two parts. Lubricant used in journal bearings prevents metal-to-metal contact and is also used for a dampening effect which makes the engines and […]
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 […]
