ABOUT US

With over 25 years of experience, Spartans Contracting has undertaken numerous challenging maintenance and repair projects. To date, they have completed over 2,000 bearing and shaft repairs. Since 2023, they have continued their maintenance and repair activities in Nigeria, successfully completing Babbitt (White Metal) coating repair work on 120MW BBC Steam Turbine bearings and various industrial pump bearings. Furthermore, thanks to their global supply network, they also supply new bearings, bushings, mechanical seals, and other spare parts for heavy industrial equipment.

They continue to provide services throughout Nigeria, particularly targeting "Hydropower Plants, Steam Turbines, Refineries, Cement Plants, Sugar Mills, and Mining Facilities".

SERVICES

White Metal Coating

Babbitt Bearing Coating

We are engaged in offering a wide range of White Metal, which is renowned for its high corrosion resistance, high tin content and lower wear rate. Our range finds usage in diverse applications such as aviation, automobiles and defense. We can offer customization in terms of lining material as per the clients' specific requirements.

Repair Service

Repair

All types of white metal lined bearings can be repaired

Re-metaling by centrifugal casting, gravity casting or TIG overlay.

NDT inspection acceptance criteria as per ISO 4386 standard. Reliable quality control and quality assurance

Final Surface

Performance Impact:

It is typically achieved through precision machining, grinding, and honing/lapping to ensure optimal surface finish, which dictates the bearing's friction, noise, and overall service life. A properly finished surface is crucial to prevent premature wear, noise, and vibrations. Improper finish can lead to micro-pitting from asperities or excessive heat from lack of lubrication.

Test & Calibration

Babbitt Coating Tests

Bearing testing and calibration ensure the reliability, accuracy, and quality of bearings by measuring vibration, noise, and structural integrity, typically using devices like Anderon meters, eddy current blocks, or specialized load frames. The most common non-destructive method. It uses high-frequency sound waves to detect "disbonds" (air gaps) between the Babbitt and the shell...

TECHNICAL

INDUSTRIAL BEARINGS

Babbitt bearings are found on motors, fans, pumps, turbines generators and other industrial equipment. The bearings are designed to support the weight of the shaft, while providing a non-damaging surface for the high speed rotating shaft. In a Babbitted bearing, the lining of the bearing is bonded with Babbitt (a low melting-point, soft alloy). In the event of a failure or contamination of the lubrication system, electric arcing, or just wear over time, the softer Babbitt alloy wears instead of the journal or shaft.

While nearly all Babbitt bearings are used in oil-lubricated systems, they have different design features depending on shaft speed, bearing load, shaft stability, bearing cooling, alignment problems and electrical insulating requirements, load and speed. Bearings can be fitted with vibration and temperature sensors and can even be water cooled as needed. Babbitt bearings are a reliable part of equipment which runs for years and requires little maintenance and attention.
