Bronze Groove Plate with Machining Bolt Holes, Groove Bronze Plate with Machining Bolt Holes

Bronze is a highly valued material in industrial applications due to its excellent mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and low friction characteristics. When it comes to creating durable and efficient sliding components, groove bronze plates with machining bolt holes are a popular choice. Here’s an overview of their features, benefits, and typical applications.

Features

  1. Material Composition: Groove bronze plates are typically made from high-quality bronze alloys, such as C93200 (SAE 660), which provide a balance of strength, wear resistance, and machinability.

  2. Grooves: The surface of these bronze plates is designed with grooves to retain lubricants, ensuring a continuous lubrication film between the sliding surfaces. This minimizes friction and wear during operation.

  3. Machined Bolt Holes: Precision machining of bolt holes allows for easy and secure mounting of the bronze plates to various machinery and structural components. The bolt holes are typically countersunk to accommodate flush mounting, which helps in maintaining a smooth sliding surface.

  4. Customization: These plates can be custom-designed to specific dimensions and groove patterns, catering to the unique requirements of different applications.

Benefits

  1. Enhanced Lubrication: The grooves in the bronze plate help retain lubricants, reducing friction and extending the lifespan of the sliding components.

  2. Durability: Bronze is known for its strength and resistance to wear, making it an ideal material for high-load and high-speed applications.

  3. Corrosion Resistance: Bronze’s inherent corrosion resistance ensures long-term performance even in harsh environments.

  4. Easy Installation: Machined bolt holes allow for straightforward installation and secure attachment to machinery, reducing downtime and maintenance efforts.

  5. Reduced Maintenance: With proper lubrication retention and wear resistance, groove bronze plates require less frequent maintenance, contributing to overall operational efficiency.

Typical Applications

  1. Industrial Machinery: Groove bronze plates are commonly used in heavy-duty machinery where high loads and continuous operation demand robust and reliable sliding surfaces.

  2. Automotive Industry: These plates are used in various automotive components to provide smooth and durable sliding mechanisms, such as in transmissions and braking systems.

  3. Marine Applications: Bronze’s corrosion resistance makes it suitable for marine environments, where groove bronze plates are used in various sliding and wear-resistant applications.

  4. Hydraulic Systems: In hydraulic presses and other equipment, groove bronze plates help ensure smooth and efficient operation by minimizing friction and wear.

  5. Aerospace: High-performance bronze plates are used in aerospace applications, where precision and reliability are critical.
