Oil Free Bush Material: High Strength Brass / Copper Alloy + Solid Lubricant

The #500SP material, recognized for its high-strength brass or copper alloy composition with an integrated solid lubricant, is frequently utilized in crafting oil-free bushings. These bushings are engineered to function without the necessity for external oil or lubrication, rendering them apt for a myriad of industrial uses. The robust brass or copper alloy ensures durability and resistance against wear, while the inclusion of solid lubricants like graphite and PTFE imbues them with self-lubricating qualities. Such features render these bushings perfect for scenarios involving high loads, challenging operational conditions, and settings where traditional lubricants might fail. They find applications across a diverse array of machinery and equipment, ranging from cargo handling and press tools to turbines, hoisting devices, industrial machines, automotive components, precision instruments, and even household appliances. Thanks to their self-lubricating nature, these bushings are virtually maintenance-free, capable of performing under extreme temperatures, submerged environments, or within clean-room conditions where avoiding lubricant contamination is crucial. Available in various designs including cylindrical and flanged bearings, thrust washers, and plates, they meet the specific demands of different applications.

Self-Lubricating Cast Bronze Bushings with Solid Lubricant Inserts

Self-lubricating cast bronze bushings with solid lubricant inserts are highly efficient and maintenance-free solutions for various demanding applications. These bushings are specifically designed to perform under challenging conditions, including environments exposed to water, oil, or grease. Below are the key details and specifications of these bushings:

Oil-free Bushing Composition and Structure

  • Base Material (Bronze Alloy):
    • ASTM B271 C86300 (Manganese Bronze):
      • Used for bearings with an inner diameter (ID) greater than 180 mm.
    • ASTM B505 C86300 (Manganese Bronze):
      • Used for bearings with an inner diameter (ID) less than 180 mm.

Oil-Free Bush Key Features

  1. Self-Lubricating:
  2. Running-In Film:
    • The sliding surface is coated with a running-in film of 15 to 20 µm. This film ensures the transference of solid lubricant to the mating surface during initial operations, facilitating a smooth start-up and optimal performance from the onset.
  3. Solid Lubricant Inserts:
    • The graphite inserts are distributed according to the “macro distribution principle,” tailored to the specific type of movement (linear, rotational) the bearing will undergo. This pattern ensures efficient lubrication throughout the bearing’s life.

Oil-Free Bush, Mechanical Properties of Support Bronze Alloy (ASTM B271-C86300) Oil-Free Bearings

  • High Wear Resistance:
  • Corrosion Resistance:
    • The material is resistant to corrosion, suitable for use in harsh environments, including exposure to water, oil, and grease.
  • Static and Dynamic Load Capacity:
    • Designed to withstand both high static and dynamic loads, ensuring reliable performance under varying conditions.
  • Stable Coefficient of Friction:
    • Provides a consistent and stable coefficient of friction, reducing wear and enhancing the longevity of both the bearing and mating surfaces.
  • No “Stick-Slip” Effect:
    • Ensures smooth and continuous movement without the undesirable “stick-slip” effect, which can cause jerky or uneven motion.

Oil-Free Bush Applications

  1. Water Environments:
    • Suitable for use in marine applications, such as rudder bearings, propeller shafts, and underwater equipment.
  2. Oil and Grease Environments:
    • Ideal for automotive and industrial machinery, where components are frequently exposed to lubricants like oil and grease.
  3. Dry or Oil-Free Applications:
    • Also effective in applications where external lubrication is not feasible, relying on the self-lubricating properties of the solid lubricant inserts.
  4. Heavy-Duty Industrial Use:

Oil-Free Bushing Bearing

Self-lubricating cast bronze bushings with solid lubricant inserts provide a durable, maintenance-free solution for a variety of demanding applications. The use of high-quality bronze alloys (ASTM B271 C86300 and ASTM B505 C86300) ensures excellent mechanical properties, while the incorporation of graphite inserts guarantees long-lasting lubrication. These bushings are designed to perform reliably in water, oil, grease, and even dry conditions, making them versatile and highly effective for numerous industrial applications.

Oil-Free bush straight type or universal use in many dry applications such as die/mold, machinery, automation, construction, automobile. The Oil Free bush is self-lubrication and works without grease.

Bronze-graphite bushing: Bronze-graphite self-lubricating sliding bushings Spherical bronze-graphite bushings are formed from a bronze alloy with porosity up to 20-25% volume. The oil contained in the porosity allows for permanent lubrication of the space between the bearing and the shaft. Application advantages: the presence of oil reduces the possibility of scuffing; allows the bronze-graphite sleeve to remain operational for thousands of hours without wear; there is no need for lubrication; produces little noise. The products are used in electrical equipment, household appliances, used in printing machines, machine tools, etc. To order: it is possible to produce products according to the customer’s specifications. It is possible to buy bronze-graphite bushings on the company’s website.
