Aluminum is a very versatile product. It is tough, wear-resistant, has a high load capacity, and can work under intense pressure at very high speeds. These qualities make it a great choice for aluminum Babbitt bearings. Our Quad Industries technicians produce a variety of aluminum bearings that will work well in the more demanding conditions you may need them for.
Aluminum Bearing Uses
Aluminum is used in everything from everyday products like cans and kitchenware to engines and airplane parts. When we manufacture aluminum bearings, we generally see our parts used in the following equipment:
- Roll-Neck Bearings in Steel Mills: The wear resistance of aluminum works well in roll-neck bearings, allowing for movement within the machinery without worry of rust or wear.
- Aircraft Equipment: When you work on planes, you want to ensure that the hardware involved is as safe as possible. That’s where aluminum parts play a role: its high resistance to corrosion and high load-carrying capacity make it ideal for aircraft construction.
- Hydraulic Gear Pumps: Aluminum has superior thermal conductivity to other metals, making it effective at dissipating heat during the pumping process. Especially when the fluid being transferred through the gear pump generates heat, aluminum is an ideal gear pump material as it prevents the pump from overheating and allows the machine to work at its optimal temperature.
