Metal-to-Metal Bearings – metallic bearings

Metal-polymer plain bearings, also known as composite bearings, are a type of bearing that combines the beneficial properties of metal and polymer materials. These bearings consist of a metal backing onto which a porous layer of bronze or another metal is sintered. This is then impregnated and overlaid with a polymer, such as PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), which reduces friction and wear.

Metal-to-metal bearing solutions are well suited for applications that experience high shock or high loads. These bearings can also withstand harsh environmental conditions such as high temperatures up to 700°C, low temperatures including cryogenics, or exposure to vacuum conditions in space applications. A metallic self-lubricated bearing is a type of bearing that is made from a metal alloy and is designed to function without the need for additional lubrication. These bearings are often used in applications where traditional lubrication methods are difficult or impossible, such as high-temperature environments, corrosive environments, or applications where the bearing is difficult to access.

Corrosion Resistance & Versatility

The polymer layer provides excellent resistance to corrosion, making these bearings suitable for use in harsh environments.These bearings can be manufactured in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.

Low Friction

The polymer layer provides a low friction surface, which is particularly beneficial in start-stop applications where stick-slip must be avoided.

Principles of selection plain bushing bearing life

Maintenance-Free Operation

These bearings are often self-lubricating. The polymer layer provides a reservoir of lubricant, which gets released during operation, reducing the need for additional lubrication.

Lightweight and Compact

Compared to traditional solid metal bearings, metal-polymer plain bearings are typically lighter and more compact, which can be useful in applications where weight or space is at a premium.

Self-lubricating metallic bearings bushes

Self-lubricating metallic bearings provide maintenance-free metal to metal bearings and offer increased reliability and longer application life, reducing operating costs in challenging applications across a wide range of industries. bronzelube has a variety of self-lubricating metaliic bearing liners to choose from, and your choice will depend on your application. Some pads work well at high speeds or high loads, while others are designed for high temperature applications or high shock conditions. Whether your application is in aerospace, helicopters, heavy industry, hydroelectric power generation or marine vehicles, there is a self-lubricating liner to solve your shaft.

However, if grease lubricated metallic bushing bearings are preferred, these are also an excellent choice, especially for high-load and high-speed applications. They typically consist of a metal such as bronze, which has good load-carrying capacity and excellent thermal conductivity. The bearings need to be regularly greased, which helps to reduce friction and wear, disperse heat, and provide some protection against corrosion.

Both types of bearings have their advantages and are best suited to different types of applications. It’s important to carefully consider the requirements of your specific application when choosing between these options.

Focus on self-lubricating bearing parts

Metallic bushing bearings

metallic bushing designs provide bearing solutions for applications that require minimal friction at the highest speeds. we offers traditional metallic bearings as well as wrapped bronze bearings that can manage higher loads due to their increased surface area. we also offer innovative solutions for wrapped bushes, including a maintenance-free self-lubricating for optimum performance and extended application life, even under harsh conditions.

Metallic self-lubricated bearings are made by combining a metal alloy with solid lubricants, such as graphite or molybdenum disulfide. The solid lubricants are dispersed throughout the metal alloy, creating a material that is able to self-lubricate during use. The solid lubricants are released as the bearing rotates, forming a thin film on the surface of the bearing that reduces friction and wear.

High Precision Metallic Bearings

We offer a range of high-precision metallic bearings for a variety of applications requiring high precision and performance in the limited space conditions of precision tooling and other industries. These include universally configurable high-precision metallic bearings that support radial and axial forces, thrust spacers, bushing with high operating accuracy in applications requiring high speeds and loads, and metallic bushes bearings designed to absorb axial forces in small spaces. Some of the advantages of metallic self-lubricated bearings include:

  • Lower maintenance costs: Since the bearings don’t require additional lubrication, there’s no need for regular maintenance or lubrication cycles.
  • Longer lifespan: Self-lubricated bearings tend to last longer than traditional bearings since there’s no risk of lubricant failure or contamination.
  • Better performance: The self-lubricating properties of these bearings can help reduce friction and wear, leading to better overall performance.

Applications for metallic self-lubricated bearings include industrial machinery, automotive components, and aerospace equipment.

Custom metallic thrust bearings are specialized types of bearings designed to handle axial or thrust loads. Unlike radial bearings that primarily support radial loads, thrust bearings are specifically designed to accommodate forces parallel to the shaft’s axis. These bearings are commonly used in applications such as automotive transmissions, industrial machinery, and aerospace systems. As quality engineered bearings, custom metallic thrust bearings offer several advantages. Here are some key qualities to consider:

Material Selection: Metallic thrust bearings are typically made from high-strength materials such as stainless steel, bronze, or other alloys. The selection of materials depends on the specific application requirements, including load capacity, operating temperature, and environmental conditions.

Customization: One of the significant benefits of custom thrust bearings is their ability to be tailored to meet specific design and performance criteria. Manufacturers can create bearings with custom dimensions, load capacities, clearance levels, and surface finishes, among other parameters, to ensure optimal performance in a given application.

High Load Capacity: Metallic thrust bearings are engineered to handle substantial axial loads. Their design features include precision-machined surfaces, robust structures, and optimized contact geometries, which enable them to withstand high forces without compromising performance or durability.

Precision and Tolerance: Quality engineered thrust bearings adhere to tight manufacturing tolerances, ensuring precise dimensions, accurate alignment, and minimal friction. These factors contribute to improved efficiency, reduced wear and tear, and enhanced overall performance of the bearing system.

Durability and Reliability: Custom metallic thrust bearings undergo stringent quality control processes during manufacturing. They are subject to rigorous testing to ensure they can withstand demanding operating conditions, resist fatigue, and provide long service life. This focus on durability and reliability ensures consistent performance and reduces the risk of premature bearing failure.

Lubrication and Maintenance: Proper lubrication is crucial for the optimal operation of metallic thrust bearings. Manufacturers often provide recommendations for lubrication types and intervals to ensure smooth operation and prevent excessive wear. Additionally, the design of custom thrust bearings can facilitate maintenance procedures, such as easy disassembly and reassembly, for efficient inspection and replacement.

Application-Specific Solutions: Custom metallic thrust bearings can be engineered to address specific challenges encountered in different industries or applications. Manufacturers work closely with customers to understand their unique requirements and develop solutions tailored to their needs, optimizing performance, efficiency, and reliability.

Custom metallic thrust bearings offer a range of qualities that make them suitable for demanding applications.
