White Metal Bearings

At PBW Bearings, we understand the critical role of proven bearing materials in enhancing the performance and reliability of oil-lubricated fluid film bearings. Our bearings leverage industry-leading materials to deliver superior results across diverse applications. Tin-based babbitt, commonly known as white metal, has been a cornerstone material in our portfolio, offering exceptional conformability, compatibility, and embedability. Its forgiving nature ensures that the bearing absorbs potential damage, protecting more expensive components like shafts and making it a trusted choice for both fixed-profile and tilt-pad bearings.

PBW Bearings offer a range of advanced materials designed to meet modern industrial challenges. Our tin-based babbitt bearings remain a standard for moderate conditions, while Aluminum Tin (AlSn) bearings provide enhanced load and temperature capabilities for oil-lubricated machines without requiring design changes. For applications needing greater strength and fatigue resistance, our engineered polymer bearings combine elevated temperature performance with the embedability of babbitt. Additionally, our ceramic and cermet composite bearings are ideal for high-load, high-temperature environments, delivering unmatched durability and strength.

Our bearings are integral to a wide range of industries and machinery, including turbines, compressors, pumps, and powertrains. PBW babbitt bearings are ideal for applications with moderate loads and speeds, while our AlSn, polymer, and ceramic bearings excel in high-performance systems facing extreme loads and temperatures. Whatever the challenge, our materials and designs are engineered to provide long-lasting, reliable solutions for your most demanding applications.

PBW Bearings prioritize performance under all operating conditions. While babbitt bearings offer excellent reliability at temperatures up to 130°C (266°F), our advanced materials like AlSn and polymers provide greater strength and fatigue resistance for dynamic applications. For extreme environments, our ceramic and cermet bearings deliver exceptional load and temperature capabilities, ensuring your machinery operates smoothly and efficiently. Wherever reliability and performance are essential, PBW Bearings are ever required.
