Comprehensive Selection

Six Types of Bearings

We supply and service a complete range of bearing types for steam turbines, compressors, pumps, and general industrial rotating equipment.

Journal Bearings

Hydrodynamic journal bearings designed for high-speed rotating shafts. Ideal for steam turbines, generators, and compressors where reliable radial load support is critical.

Thrust Bearings

Precision thrust bearings engineered to manage axial loads in turbines and industrial machinery. Available in flat, tilted-pad, and self-equalizing configurations.

Sleeve Bearings

Durable sleeve bearings for continuous-duty applications. Manufactured with Babbitt, bronze, or composite materials to meet demanding operational requirements.

Ball Bearings

Precision ball bearings for low-to-moderate load applications requiring high-speed capability. Available in deep groove, angular contact, and self-aligning types.

Roller Bearings

Heavy-duty roller bearings built for high radial load capacity. Cylindrical, tapered, and spherical roller options for the most demanding industrial environments.

Custom Bearings

Engineered-to-order bearing solutions for unique applications. Our team designs and manufactures custom bearings to exact specifications and performance requirements.

Advanced Capabilities

Reverse Engineering

When OEM bearings are no longer available or lead times are unacceptable, Keene Industrial Solutions can reverse-engineer and manufacture exact replacements. Using advanced 3D scanning, material analysis, and precision machining, we replicate bearing geometry, clearances, and material specifications to ensure seamless integration.

  • 3D coordinate measuring and scanning
  • Material composition analysis
  • Babbitt alloy selection and pouring
  • Dimensional verification and testing

Restoration Services

Babbitt Reconditioning

Our Babbitt reconditioning service restores worn or damaged bearings to OEM specifications. We strip old Babbitt material, inspect the steel backing for cracks or fatigue, apply new Babbitt via centrifugal or static casting, and precision machine to the required clearances.

This process extends bearing life significantly at a fraction of the cost of new replacements, minimizing downtime and keeping your equipment running reliably.

Our Reconditioning Process:

  1. Complete Babbitt stripping and cleaning
  2. Steel backing inspection (MPI/Dye penetrant)
  3. New Babbitt application (centrifugal or static)
  4. Precision machining to OEM tolerances
  5. Final inspection and clearance verification
