Bronze-Backed Babbitt Bearings for Industrial & loco Applications
DEV PRECISION ENGINEERS manufactures bronze-backed Babbitt bearing components for applications requiring a bronze base with a suitable white-metal bearing layer.
In this construction, the bronze backing provides structural support, while the Babbitt lining provides the intended running surface. The lining alloy, bonding method, bronze grade, and finished geometry must be selected according to the equipment design and operating conditions.
These bearings can be suitable for selected industrial rotating machinery, marine equipment, and other applications where bronze-backed white-metal construction is specified.
