Wärtsilä’s Bearing Centre: Pioneering new-generation solutions

As the global leader in innovative engineering solutions, Wärtsilä continues to push boundaries, delivering cutting-edge products and services to the marine and energy industries.

This year, Wärtsilä will be attending Enlit Europe 2024 in Milan with The Bearing Centre team, showcasing their latest advancements, including the new generation of bearings and comprehensive bearing repair services. Visitors are invited to explore these innovations at stand 7.G16, from October 22 to October 24.

The new generation of bearings

Wärtsilä’s latest generation of bearings incorporates cutting-edge 100BOND® technology, ensuring significantly increased lifespan and performance. This advanced technology enhances the bond strength between bearing layers, which not only improves load bearing capacity but also extends durability, even in demanding environments.

These bearings are designed to withstand higher loads and operate at cooler temperatures, leading to reduced friction and improved efficiency. As a result, customers benefit from longer operational lifetimes and less frequent maintenance, ultimately contributing to cost savings and sustainability.

Why choose Wärtsilä’s white metal technology?

1. Improved mechanical and tribological properties, making a real technological difference to your bearings.
2. Exceptional, long-lasting bonding strength.
3. A longer life span, especially under high load requirements and heavy vibration demands.

Wärtsilä’s bearing repair service

In addition to delivering advanced new bearings, the Wärtsilä Bearing Centre also offers a comprehensive bearing repair service. This service is designed to extend the lifespan of existing equipment, offering a cost-effective alternative to purchasing new components. Instead of discarding worn-out bearings, Wärtsilä’s experts assess and repair them, restoring them to optimal condition – and often improving their original performance.

The repair service utilises state-of-the-art diagnostic tools that allow the team to evaluate the condition of each bearing and identify areas for refurbishment. After the repair process, bearings undergo rigorous testing to ensure they meet or exceed industry standards, guaranteeing that repaired bearings perform as reliably as new ones.

By choosing repair over replacement, customers can significantly reduce both costs and downtime. This approach also aligns with Wärtsilä’s commitment to sustainability – repairing and refurbishing parts reduces waste and the need for new materials, ultimately lowering the environmental impact of operations.

For customers looking to optimise their maintenance strategies, Wärtsilä’s repair service is a smart, sustainable choice.
