At YAF Engineering, we specialize in the rebabbitting of white metal linings on stern tubes and other bearing types, ensuring full restoration of functionality and conformity with classification society standards. Such reconditioning becomes necessary when bearings suffer wear or damage due to misalignment or inadequate lubrication, particularly affecting the white metal layer.
We perform white metal re-babbitting using a custom-designed centrifugal casting machine, recognized as the most reliable and approved method in the industry. Our equipment is PLC-controlled and capable of handling bearings with diameters up to 1 meter and lengths up to 2 meters.
Centrifugal casting procedure includes:
By utilizing controlled centrifugal casting, we achieve uniform material distribution, enhanced mechanical strength, and optimal adhesion of the white metal layer to the base material—guaranteeing long-lasting performance under demanding operational conditions.
