        Quadna has added a specialized, in-house Babbitt bearing repair center to its menu of service offerings<p><img height="150" src="/scripts/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/imagemanager/files/power_point_images/location_images/Babbitt-bearing.jpg" style="float: right; margin: 5px;" width="200" />Quadna's qualified, full-time, specialized repair facility has the expertise to perform the Babbitt bearing repairs needed to ensure optimal equipment performance.&nbsp; When properly repaired, Babbitt bearings can run for years with little maintenance because they are bearings coated with one of a series of metal alloys characterized by their resistance to galling.&nbsp; By using state-of-the-art technology and repair practices, Quadna can repair customers' equipment and increase the life of their Babbitt bearings.&nbsp; We do this through the following repair methods:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>converting from lead to tin based alloys - producing a strengthened bond and an increased bearing life</li>
<li>centrifugal casting - providing a better alternative to static pours to strengthen the bond</li>
<li>converting from cast iron housing to steel - creating a better bond and increased overall strength</li>
<li>enhancing machining practices - reducing need for hand scraping</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Once a Babbitt bearing has been reconditioned, Quadna quality checks each bearing, ensuring proper shaft clearances, oil relief and oil holes sized per specifications as is concentricity.&nbsp; All are hydrostatically tested and undergo ultrasonic inspection.</p>
<p>If you have any questions about the benefits of Babbitt bearings or their repair, contact <strong>Jim Jenkins</strong>, Salt Lake City branch manager, at 801.317.1820.</p>
