King Engine Bearings, an automotive, aviation and high-performance engine
bearings supplier, has launched an official Facebook page for business customers
and consumers at our website.The company says it encourages people to “like” the
page in order to receive the latest updates on King products, events, technical
data and industry news.“Facebook is another way for us to get closer to our
customers and fans, and obtain feedback on our products,” says Limor DePetro,
director of sales and marketing, King Engine Bearings. “We encourage people to visit our page to share
information and upload photos of their engines and vehicles powered by King
Engine Bearings.”
Traditional rod and main bearing construction is based upon a three layer
configuration composed of a steel backing, a copper-lead layer and a very thin
overlay of babbitt material only .0005" - .0008" thick. [King bearings] uses
just two layers, a high strength steel backing plus a bonded layer of "Alecular"
bearing material .012" - .015" thick.
Alecular material is used exclusively by King. It is an alloy of aluminum,
tin, copper and several other elements. Because it is an alloy, it maintains its
properties throughout its entire depth, delivering consistent and reliable
performance.
More than half of engine bearing failures are caused by metallic particles
which scratch crank journals and tear or weaken thin babbitt overlays such as in
the tri-metal bearing.
Since King’s Alecular nsk bearing layer is
much thicker than the babbitt overlay (.015" vs. .0008"), it provides eighteen
(18) times more embedability than a tri-metal bearing to catch and hold
particles so they don’t scratch the crank journals. This is especially true for
particles over .0004" in diameter which cause most of the damage.
The much thicker layer of Alecular bearing material (.015" vs. .0008")
allows the bearing to conform to problems such as metal to metal contact when
there is mis-alignment present or the connecting rods stretch. Greater
conformability means fewer fag bearing
failures.
