The method chosen depends on the bearing’s shape and the required bond strength.
The Babbitt layer serves as a sacrificial, low-friction surface that protects the expensive rotating shaft from damage. babbitting
Its structure—hard crystals dispersed in a soft metal—creates microscopic paths for hydrodynamic lubrication , ensuring the shaft "rides" on a film of oil. Primary Application Methods The method chosen depends on the bearing’s shape
