Intermediate shaft bearing was hot in running test. It need to be inspected and repaired.
Recently, an Oil Tanker of the Sirian customer experienced the heat on its intermediate shaft bearing. MTB Co., Ltd was informed to carry out an inspection on the bearing shell and pedestal to propose a solution.
Upon inspection, it was determined that the babbit layer of ship shaft bearing worn down. Its repair would be required.
MTB proposed to complete the machining in 5 – 7 days on-site. Our engineer team was set to work repairing it at Nosco shipyard.
MTB Engineer carried out the re-babbitting process by metal spray method.
Bearing machining was proceeded on the highest quality machine tools. It was correctly removed to original dimension.
Correct bearing was be reinstalled. The load - bearing was rechecked and adjusted together with the realignment of shafting system.
Final check of the bearing and the engine were carrefully made. The engine in running test and bearing were in good condition, the crank shaft deflection also was in good range.
