The steel processing industry also requires the use of a large number of sliding bearings and rolling bearings. Babbitt alloy oil film bearings are one type of sliding bearings. The most commonly used are tin based Babbitt alloy and copper based alloy. The Babbitt alloy layer has excellent self-lubricating ability, and the babbitt bushing and sleeve (shaft) are continuously protected by an oil film. So, the friction coefficient of oil film bearings is extremely low. Capable of withstanding extremely high rolling forces and high rotational speeds. 

Regarding the use of oil film bearings, FV's bearing engineers have three pieces of advice: 

1. Continuously and accurately observe the temperature of the rolling mill and lubricating oil to avoid high-temperature damage to the Babbitt alloy. 

2. The precision of parts that match with oil film bearings must be high. Accurately measure the accuracy and clearance before and after installation. 

3. Choose the correct lubricant viscosity and oil pressure. And keep the oil filtration system working properly.
