Compressor bearings that outlast the originals.
Journal bearings, thrust pads, and tilt-pad assemblies for every major centrifugal compressor brand — precision-manufactured to OEM clearances with modern material upgrades that extend MTBF.
Problems you might be facing
OEM lead times of 14–20 weeks
Your compressor is down and the OEM quotes months. Every day of downtime costs tens of thousands.
Premature bearing failures
Recurring vibration alarms, high bearing temperatures, and unplanned shutdowns eating into production.
OEM prices that don't make sense
Being quoted 3–5x the material value for a bearing that should be a commodity component.
Capabilities
Journal bearings
Babbitt-lined cylindrical and elliptical bore journal bearings. All major OEM bore sizes stocked.
Thrust bearings
Self-equalizing tilt-pad thrust assemblies with Kingsbury-style leveling plates and precision-lapped pads.
Tilt-pad journal bearings
4-pad and 5-pad tilt-pad designs for high-speed applications — LOP and LBP configurations.
Bearing housings
Complete bearing housing assemblies with oil drain, thermowell ports, and vibration probe mounts.
Full traceability
Material certs, babbitt thickness mapping, dimensional inspection reports, and NDT records included.

Frequently asked questions
Do you supply bearings for Centac compressors?+
Yes — we stock journal and thrust bearing assemblies for Centac C-series (C800, C700, C1000) and carry patterns for all major models. Typical turnaround is 4–6 weeks for custom orders.
Can you re-babbitt my existing bearings?+
Absolutely. We strip, inspect, re-babbitt (tin-based or lead-based per spec), and machine to original tolerances. Turnaround is typically 2–3 weeks.
What clearances do you hold?+
We manufacture to OEM print tolerances or API 617 recommendations — whichever is tighter. Every bearing ships with a dimensional inspection report.
How do I know which bearing I need?+
Send us your compressor model number, serial number, or a photo of the bearing nameplate. We'll cross-reference to confirm the exact part.
