SIU custom designs, manufactures, services and repairs fluid film babbitt bearings and seals to keep large rotating equipment operating more efficiently and reliably over an extended life.
BABBITT REPAIR
A typical workflow includes the following
- Engineering trouble-shooting and analysis, repair and service, and manufacturing babbitt bearings for turbine and generators operating in nuclear power stations in North America, Western and Eastern Europe, Korea and South America;
- Turnkey custom-designed and manufactured large vertical guide and thrust bearings to solve problems in older existing machinery and new equipment at hydroelectric plants in North America;
- Our proprietary Fluid Pivot® technology for tilting pad radial babbitt bearings for high speed lightly loaded rotating machinery or, in larger sizes and in the “JS” configuration, as an ideal solution for a steady rest bearing or any application requiring superior bearing dynamic alignment;
- Providing manufacturing and repair services to the U.S. Navy and its major subcontractors since World War II, for nuclear aircraft carriers and submarines, frigates, destroyers and the Navy’s newest class: the Littoral Combat Ships (The Freedom variant)
- Qualified by the marine divisions of GE and Westinghouse Electric in 1956.
Our engineering expertise includes
