White Metal Bearings

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 Babbitt bearings are widely used in applications where high load-bearing capacity, low friction, and durability are essential. The bearings are made from a soft composite alloyed metal (tin & lead based )called Babbitt metal. Babbitt materials offer exceptional conformability, compatibility, and embeddability to the shaft surface, reducing wear and preventing damage to both the bearing and the shaft. The key advantages of babbitt bearings in engine applications include self-lubricating, shock absorption, load distribution, galling resistance.
