Product Features of Self-Lubricated Bronze Bushing Bearings

1. No Oil Supply System Needed

These bearings eliminate the need for oil supply devices, oil holes, and grooves. This simplification reduces the costs associated with the fuel supply system, including processing and assembly, ultimately lowering manufacturing expenses.

2. Reduced Operating Costs

The use of self-lubricating bearings substantially cuts down on the need for lubricating oil and equipment maintenance, while also eliminating the risks associated with oil shortages.

3. Streamlined Design Process

The absence of oil simplifies the design and structure, reducing costs and saving design time. Additionally, using self-lubricating bearings can enhance mechanical properties, extend service life, and improve reliability.

4. Environmental Benefits

With no need for waste oil recycling, these bearings are environmentally friendly, promoting cleaner production practices.

5. Versatile Mechanical Applications

As essential parts of the mechanical industry, these bearings are crucial for normal machine operation. They are designed to withstand high loads and adverse conditions such as foreign body intrusion, extreme temperatures, and imperfect maintenance, which would typically cause galling in general sliding bearings.

Usage Notes

  1. Where possible, design using standard specifications.
  2. Ensure there are no foreign bodies in the assembly.
  3. After use, a solid lubricant may form a black or gray-black film on the sliding surface. Do not scrub this off; it is usual.
  4. Applying lubricating oil to the grinding parts before assembly can shorten the running-in period, facilitating smoother machinery operation.
  5. When assembling, press in slowly; avoid hammering to prevent bearing damage and deformation.
  6. Select appropriate materials for different parts to improve mechanical performance and extend the bearing’s service life.
  7. For high-load, reciprocating movements, consider using screw fixation.
  8. In environments like fresh water, seawater, or maritime settings, use stainless steel or surface plating.
