All machinery, when powered, provides motion to drive the process it was designed for. CMT provides full RPM spin testing on motors, gear reducers, blower assemblies, pumps and other assembled equipment. Spin testing provides an opportunity to pattern Babbitt bearings, monitor all temperatures, vibration and noise, along with all electrical data and insulation tests.
Dynamically balanced equipment runs better
Does your equipment rotate? Then, balance is critical. Many variables could cause imbalance in the rotating equipment like contamination and normal wear-and-tear causing bearings and couplings to rub. CMT balance technicians can dynamically balance your equipment at our shop or yours.
What is a Babbitt bearing and how do you make them?
Babbitt bearings are important to all heavy industrial machinery because they are used for high speed, rotating equipment, such as compressors, turbines, electric motors, large power generators (like those in power plants). Babbitt bearings are sleeve bearings made of certain types of alloys, which are melted down and cast to produce the bearing surface. The […]
