Kingsbury Rebabbitting Services

The babbitt on hydrodynamic bearings is a layer of material covering the working face of the bearing which is soft enough that contaminants can embed in it, thereby protecting the shaft or thrust runner. The babbitt material is composed of an alloy of tin with a variety of metals that can be used. Kingsbury is exceptionally knowledgeable about factors affecting the babbitt material so they not only can repair your bearing’s babbitting but can provide input into factors such as speed and temperature that can degrade the babbitt. See PDFs at right.
