We are the manufacturer and trader of Tri-metal bearings and Bi-metal Bearings used in Diesel engines, compressors & all types of rotating equipment. 

As a marine engine and mechanical equipment repair company serving industries & shipping companies all over the world for the last 47+ years, we understand the importance of the availability of not only high-quality Tri-metal and Bi-metal Bearings but also the importance of delivering bearings on time. During our experience of the last nearly five decades, we have observed that although the crankshaft of the marine engine, compressor, or any rotating equipment is repaired due to the non-availability of the crankpin & main journal bearing engine cannot be put back into operation, thus causing losses to the owner.   

The non-availability of engine & compressor bearings may be because the equipment is outdated and no longer manufactured by the original equipment manufacturer. There are several marine engines, diesel generating sets, and compressors in operation on vessels or industries, the manufacturing of which has been discontinued due to either the closure of the manufacturing unit or the equipment becoming obsolete. 

RA Power Solutions plays an important role in the manufacturing of marine engines, white metal bearing repair, diesel generators, compressors, and rotating equipment bearings, Tri-metal and Bi-metal.

Tri-Metal Bearing and Bi-Metal Bearing Manufacturer

We have the Principles based in the UK, Europe, and Japan, from where we source the Tri-Metal Bearing, the Bi-metal Bearings, and Babbitt white metal bearings up to 1500 mm diameter are manufactured in-house.

In case your Engine model is old and is no longer manufactured by the manufacturer, RA Power Solutions can help you in the development & manufacturing of Tri-metal and bi-metal bearings strictly as per the drawing provided by you. We also develop and manufacture Tri-metal & Bi-metal bearings as per the sample provided by the client. 

Manufacturing of standard and non-standard tri-metal bearings and bi-metal bearings for marine engines and compressors

As a crankshaft repair company, we have observed that due to serious accidents, the damage to the crankpin/ main journal is much more than the last limit of undersize recommended by the manufacturer. In this case, the engine manufacturer refuses to supply the undersized and oversized bearings.

For example, in the case of a Daihatsu crankpin with a standard diameter of 170 mm, the final size after grinding may be 167 mm. We manufacture a 3.0 mm undersize bearing for this condition. The engine is then put back into operation. On the other hand, as per the engine manufacturer, the crankshaft would be considered unusable and rejected.

We have saved hundreds of crankshafts by supplying undersize Tri-metal Bearings and Bi-metal Bearings beyond the last limit of grinding recommended by the engine manufacturer. We regularly supply engine bearings for crankpins, Tri-metal Bearings, engine tri-metal bearings, and Bi-metal bearings for all makes & models of engines like Wartsila, MAK, MAN B&W, Yanmar, Daihatsu, Himsen, Caterpillar, Bergen, Deutz, etc. 

We have been regularly exporting the bearings to Bahrain, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Brunei, Burma, Cambodia, East Timor, Georgia, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Japan, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Lebanon, Malaysia, Mongolia, Nepal, North Korea, Oman, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Qatar, etc.

We also have engine crankpin bearings available in our stock for various engine models from Wärtsilä, MAN B&W, Sulzer, Yanmar, Daihatsu, MAK, Caterpillar, Cummins, Deutz, Mitsubishi, Allen, Himsen, and Niigata.

Dubai remains our top priority market for crankpin bearing exports, given the high volume of vessel traffic through Jebel Ali and the Strait of Hormuz, where delays in bearing supply can directly affect sailing schedules.

Beyond the UAE, we regularly supply crankpin and tri-metal bearings worldwide, including Iraq, Iran, Italy, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Russia, Qatar, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al-Quwain, Fujairah, Bahrain, Gambia, Kuwait, and across the Caribbean, Southeast Asia, and Africa.

Our reach also extends to Canada, Australia, the UK, the US, Europe, and other major shipping and flag-registry hubs across Asia, the Pacific, and Latin America.

Wherever the vessel is registered or operating, we ensure OEM-spec bearings, complete certification, and export documentation are ready so customs clearance never holds up the sailing schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What is a Tri-metal Bearing?
Tri-metal Bearing is the engine bearing with three layers of different metals. Such bearings are able to withstand the loads, provide low friction and reliable work in diesel engines, marine engines, compressors, and other rotating mechanisms.

2. What is the difference between Tri-metal and Bi-metal Bearings?
There are three layers of different materials in the Tri-metal Bearings and there are two layers in the Bi-metal Bearings. Depending on the design of the engine, its loading and operating conditions.

3. Can RA Power Solutions manufacture bearings for old or discontinued engines?
Yes. RA Power Solutions can manufacture Tri-metal and Bi-metal Bearings for old and obsolete engines. The Bearings can be manufactured in accordance with the drawing or the sample which is provided by the customer.

4. Can you supply undersize bearings for damaged crankshafts?
Yes. RA Power Solutions can manufacture special undersize Tri-metal and Bi-metal Bearings when the crankshaft has been reground above the maximum recommendation by the manufacturer. This allows saving the crankshafts which otherwise had to be renewed.

5. Which engine brands can RA Power Solutions supply bearings for?
RA Power Solutions provides tri-metal and bi-metal bearings for a lot of engines such as Wartsila, MAN B&W, MAK, Yanmar, Daihatsu, Himsen, Caterpillar, Bergen, and Deutz. The Bearings can be manufactured in accordance with the required size, drawing, or sample.
