Wärtsilä Maintenance / Service Agreement Enhanced
Wärtsilä The Bearing Centre – White Metal Bearings and 100BOND Technology
Design, manufacture, repair and upgrade of white metal (babbitt) bearings, tilting pad bearings and seals using the patented 100BOND white metal laser technology.
Description
Wärtsilä The Bearing Centre provides end-to-end lifecycle support for white metal bearings and pads – design, manufacturing, repair and upgrades – using the patented 100BOND® white metal laser technology, which improves fatigue resistance and temperature transmission to extend bearing life. Wärtsilä has more than 50 years of experience in this field.
Products
- Fixed geometry bearings with customisable stiffness and damping, various bore configurations and thrust surface options
- Tilting pad journal bearings for high-speed, high-load turbomachinery, with various pivot types and one-piece or split housings
- Tilting pad thrust bearings for high sliding speeds and continuous heavy loads
- Seals: labyrinth seals and compliant sealing systems for air, steam or gas applications
Services
- Contract manufacturing: build to drawing or specification, inventory programmes, emergency services
- Repair: babbitt bearing repair, inspection, refurbishment, welding and machining, coating, engineering upgrades
- Aftermarket: inventoried parts, replacement of obsolete parts
- Engineered bearings: custom and upgrade designs, rotor analysis computations, reverse engineering
Certifications
ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, OHSAS 18001; DNV-certified ISO 14067 carbon footprint verification showing the 100BOND® babbitting process has a 70.4% lower carbon footprint than the standard casting-based process.
