Ready ​​red bronze alloybearings and guiding bushings

Thanks to the 25 to 30% proportion of solid lubricant in the total sliding surface, we obtain maintenance-free operations after a first lubrication. This is a desired result for the scope where oil and fat are unwanted (eg. medecine, clean rooms, hardly accessible places).

Red bronze alloy CuZnPbSn5  consists of:copper85% / tin 5% /zinc 5% /lead 5%. It can be used for easy applications thanks to lower production costs.

Advantages ofsolid lubricantbushings

Advantages of bronzebushings

  • Maintenance-free or low-maintenance operation with a significant prolongation of maintenance efforts
  • High staticand dynamic loading capacity.
  • Low coefficient of friction(similar togrease)
  • No stick-slip

 

  • Good emergency operating features
  • Long tool life
  • Highpressurestability
  • Also suitableforuse onunhardened wavesand slight edge pressure
