Manufacturers of White metal thrust bearings for hydro generators ? 1

[edison123]

I am looking for reputed manufacturers of white metal thrust bearings for large, vertical hydro generators weighing over 100 tons.

I did google it and came away with no useful information.

I would appreciate any tips.

Babbits may produce more bearing-orientated answers. The "s" is part of the word.

Glacier bearings in the UK also make large thrust bearings. These are not usually a tilting shoe design, but more often have a hydraulic lift. We are currently remanufacturing a set for a VWG 49" O/d from a Westinghouse Machine, can we help
