Plain Bearings
Materials for Plain
Bearings
A plain bearing material must possess the
following important properties:
Compressive Strength – To resist shaft
loading without deforming or collapsing.
Plain Bearings
Materials for Plain
Bearings
Compatibility – To tolerate momentary metal-
to-metal contact without seizure occurring.

Some of the more commonly used bearing
materials are described below.
Whitemetals
Known also as Babbitt alloys .
They are either tin-based or lead-based alloys and contain a
significant percentage of antimony.
They are usually applied as a coating deposited on to a shell made of
either steel, cast-iron or bronze.

Whitemetals
They have excellent properties in all
respects, except that their compressive and
fatigue strength declines rapidly as
temperature increases.

Copper-lead Alloys:
They provide strength and fatigue
resistance up to four times greater than
Whitemetals.
Their conformability and Embeddability are not as good, but may be
improved by coating with a thin layer of whitemental.
