KC Engineering specialise in Bearing Repairs

Our services include

Journal & Thrust Repair

Hydrodynamic bearings lined with whitemetal alloy are typically designed as a sacrificial component – they fail in a controlled manner in order to protect the most important parts of the equipment; the rotating shaft and elements.

All whitemetal lined bearings can be repaired for any type of application including critical machines such as high speed compressors, gearboxes, boiler feed pumps, turbines and generators.

KCEB has over 30 years experience in repair of all types of bearing components and has built a robust set of processes along with years of experience to repair bearings to the same quality, materials and finish as new parts.

Our service center is located in the UK and thanks to good logistics connections we work for customers in many countries including Africa, Middle East and Asia.
