Kingsbury provides engineering support that starts with a full technical review of your application and leads to solutions that improve performance, reliability, and efficiency for both new installations and retrofits.

Fluid Film Bearing Repair and Service

Kingsbury’s Repair and Service Division helps you get the most from your tilting pad fluid film bearings by improving reliability, extending service life, and reducing downtime. When you choose our team for a repair or retrofit, you gain the advantage of working with the company that invented fluid film bearing technology.

Bearing Rebabbitting Services

The babbitt on hydrodynamic bearings is a layer of sacrificial material covering the working face of the bearing. It is designed to be soft enough that contaminants can embed in it, thereby protecting the shaft or thrust runner. The babbitt material is typically composed of an alloy of tin, though a variety of metals and even some high temperature plastics can be used.

Replacement Parts

Kingsbury maintains a large inventory of standard replacement bearings and components for fast, cost-effective delivery, and our team can also produce custom or make-to-order parts when needed. We help identify the right components for your equipment and can replace outdated designs with retrofit options that often improve overall performance, including for auxiliary systems.

Hydro Turbine Bearing Services

Kingsbury offers complete diagnostic services, such as failure analysis for symptoms like noise, high temperatures and wear detection. We also offer replacements or upgrades for non-Kingsbury brands of hydrodynamic bearings. Our experienced field service engineers can travel directly to your site to help with dismantling and evaluating larger bearings that are impractical to ship to our factory.
