Wheeler Industries designs and manufactures babbitt lined bearings, including journal and thrust bearings. Babbitts, or white metals, excel over other materials when a thin layer of babbitt is cast onto a stronger backing material, such as steel, bronze or cast iron. Babbitted linings provide smooth oil flow. Babbit metals embed debris particles in their surface. Other sleeve bearing materials are also offered. Babbitt-lined bearings are used in large motors, high-speed compressors, turbines and generators. Bronze products, high speed bearings and replacement bearings are also available.
