High-Performance Sliding Materials: Maintenance-Free and Self-Lubricating

Experience the future of movement with maintenance-free, high-performance sliding materials. These metal matrix composites, including tin bronze, iron, iron-nickel-copper, nickel-copper-iron, or nickel, are impregnated with solid lubricants like graphite. BRONZELUBE.COM offers both solid metal graphite bronze bushings and bimetallic composite bearing solutions, featuring a mild steel backing and a sintered bronze sliding layer.

Sliding bearing technology can be engineered in a variety of complex shapes, maintaining consistent self-lubricating properties throughout the life cycle of critical moving parts. Our metal-based composite bearing materials provide a reliable, grease-free solution for demanding industrial applications.

Metal Matrix Graphite Bronze Bushings
These bushings feature a uniformly distributed solid lubricant. The choice of matrix material and solid lubricant type is determined by the specific physical, environmental, and chemical conditions of each application. Our self-lubricating metal-based plain bearings, bushings, and sliding plates represent the future of low-friction movement.

Self-Lubricating Bearings, Bushings, and Sliding Materials
Our self-lubricating metal-based products, embedded with evenly dispersed microscopic graphite particles, are increasingly popular in critical applications where avoiding potential oil or lead contamination is crucial. With a lead-free and oil-free composition, they are environmentally safe and do not compromise the substances they come into contact with, such as food, beverages, rubber, and water.

Custom Bearing and Bushing Solutions
Our bushings reduce friction between moving parts, withstand high loads, and offer excellent wear resistance. Available in materials like bronze, steel, and graphite, they are essential in hydraulic cylinders, agricultural machinery, and industrial equipment.

Our bearings support both radial and axial loads while reducing friction. Made from materials such as stainless steel, bronze, and ceramic, they are used in industrial machinery, automotive applications, and aerospace equipment.

Our sliding plates minimize wear on machinery components and are made from materials like PTFE, bronze, and graphite. They are ideal for conveyor systems, hydraulic cylinders, and industrial machinery.

Our wear materials endure extreme conditions like high temperatures, heavy loads, and corrosive environments. Made from solid and bimetallic materials such as tungsten carbide, ceramic, and stainless steel, they are used in mining, oil and gas, and construction equipment.

Advantages of Self-Lubricating Bearings
These bearings are completely lead-free, making them environmentally friendly and safe for use in applications where lead contamination is a concern. They require no additional lubrication, making them ideal for difficult-to-maintain areas. The microscopic graphite particles provide essential lubrication, ensuring low friction movement and minimal wear.

Self-lubricating bearings are especially beneficial in industries like food and beverage, where oil contamination could pose health risks and cause product recalls. Their long lifespan and minimal maintenance make them a cost-effective solution across various applications.

Applications for Self-Lubricating Bearings
Suitable for a wide range of applications, these bearings are perfect for industries requiring low friction movement, such as aerospace, automotive, and marine. They are also ideal for environmentally sensitive settings like wastewater treatment plants.

Self-lubricating materials with graphite are pivotal in demanding applications where high performance and reliability are crucial. They offer several advantages over traditional lubricants, including improved wear resistance, reduced friction, and minimal maintenance requirements, making them the material of choice for future demanding applications.
