Babbitt Casting Specialist - Fluid Film Bearings

Pioneer Motor Bearing Company partners with OEMs and end users to engineer, manufacture, repair, and upgrade large rotating machinery so it runs longer, more efficiently, and more reliably. We’re a service-driven team operating with urgency to deliver outstanding customer results.

You start by reviewing routings, drawings, and process sheets. Using an overhead crane, you stage bearings for disassembly and cleaning, then prep surfaces with grit blasting. You set up spin casting equipment, manage furnaces and melting pots, and apply molten babbitt through static or spin methods. Along the way, you may use TIG welding, an acetylene torch, and basic fabrication techniques to prepare or finish parts. Safety, precision, and process discipline guide your work from first heat to final inspection.
