Lubrication solutions
From specialized lubricants to state-of-the-art lubrication systems and lubrication management ser vices, bearing lubrication solutions from Viiplus can help to reduce lubrication related downtime and lubricant consumption.
The Lubrication Options Of Solid Bronze Bearings
Solid bronze bushings are vital in machinery, ensuring smooth and efficient operation. Lubrication is essential, with oil and grease being the primary types used. Lubricants serve to enhance sliding properties by reducing friction, prolong the bushing’s lifespan by minimizing wear, and prevent corrosion, despite bronze’s relative corrosion resistance.
Oil is used in specific situations, such as high temperatures, when a thin, fast-circulating lubricant is needed, or during high-speed operations. Grease, however, is more common because its thicker consistency stays in place longer, providing extended lubrication and trapping contaminants to protect against abrasive wear.
In summary, while both oil and grease can serve as effective lubricants for solid bronze bushings, grease is the more typical choice due to its superior staying power and protective qualities. Whichever is chosen, the importance of proper lubrication cannot be overstated for maintaining the efficiency and longevity of these vital machine components.
Customized bronze bearing services
Traditional bronze bushings often require a considerable quantity of grease, a fact that can lead to substantial maintenance and cleaning responsibilities. A vivid example often encountered during routine maintenance is the amount of grease removed, underlining the extent of lubricant usage in these traditional bushings.
bronze bushings
While bronze bushings and their accompanying lubrication needs have been the standard for a long time, advances in materials technology are presenting alternative solutions. Particularly, self-lubricating polymers and composites are becoming more popular due to their superior efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
self-lubricating materials
Therefore, in the light of these advantages, it seems plausible for businesses to consider transitioning from traditional bronze bearings to these modern, self-lubricating materials. Not only will they benefit from decreased labor and maintenance costs, but they can also contribute positively towards reducing their environmental impact.

Self-lubricating bearings offer significant advantages by reducing maintenance needs, costs, and environmental impact. They are ideal for situations where regular lubrication is challenging. When choosing bearings, consider factors like material, size, load capacity, and operating conditions. Bearings are available in materials such as bronze, steel, ceramic, and composites, each suited to specific environments. A good bearing supplier should offer a wide range of quality products and expert guidance to help select the right bearing for your needs. They should also be responsive and able to deliver promptly to minimize downtime. Ultimately, the right supplier understands your unique requirements and provides swift, comprehensive solutions to ensure the reliability, efficiency, and longevity of your applications.

When is it appropriate to use a bronze bearing instead of a bearing?
Bronze bearing , also known as copper roller, is one of the spare parts used in the manufacture of amorphous strips and magnetic materials of new materials, chromium, zirconium and copper.It is an important part of the belt swinging machine for composite bushing.
Swing belt with high quality, long service life, suitable for amorphous, microcrystalline alloy magnetic materials, ultra-high strength amorphous alloy and other alloy material swing belt.
Bronze bearings is one of the most commonly used parts in construction machinery, and it often cooperates with the machine body in interference. The original use of sledgehammer or press to press people, this method is prone to bumps, deforming the copper sleeve and forming a waste product. When the interference is large, simply peel off a layer of copper scraps from the surface of the copper sleeve, which will affect the quality of the device. At the same time, the labor intensity is high and the power is low. For this reason, we have tested the liquid nitrogen cold pack technology, and the effect is very good.
Bronze bushings instead of bearing is suitable for the following situations:
- Occasions where silence is required;
- The occasion of low speed;
- The load is relatively small occasions;
- Occasions where radial standard is limited;
- No dust constraint occasions.
In the construction machinery manufacturing and repair, especially in the chassis some have a lot of bronze bushing device, copper sleeve diameter shortening amount directly affects the quality of the device. After the bronze bushing device, it is necessary to check according to the technical requirements, and if necessary, it is also necessary to use reaming, milling, scraping and other methods for finishing, so as to ensure the coordination accuracy required between the inner hole of the copper sleeve and the shaft and the pin. In repair practice, the method of reserving the shortening amount of the inner hole is often used to simplify the device.
Bronze bushing bearing, is a very widely used in the belt swing machine, and is an indispensable part.It is used to manufacture amorphous single and magnetic materials of new chromium zirconium copper material, also known as copper roller.
Bronze bearing characteristics
The bronze bearing is made of new material chromium zirconium copper, which makes its hardness is relatively high, wear resistance is excellent, corrosion resistance in the atmosphere and fresh water is excellent, and in the process of use, it will not simply appear the appearance of biting dead. In addition, the bronze bearing also has good casting function and cutting function. The corrosion resistance function of copper sleeve is mainly manifested in its excellent corrosion resistance of dilute sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid and fatty acids. It will not occur because the bronze bearing even in the absence of lubricants and water quality lubricants, it can still adhere to the excellent sliding and self-lubricating function; After all, the copper sleeve has a very high surface pressure, and the side pressure of its bearing is also good, so the impact resistance function and high load resistance ability of the copper sleeve are very good.
Bronze bearing application
Bronze bushing bearing can be used in high load and high sliding speed conditions for useful operations, and excellent wear resistance characteristics, bronze bushings can often be used to manufacture connecting rod, bushing, bearing bush, gear, worm gear and other components;And it has good corrosion resistance and lubrication function, is very suitable for the layout of materials, corrosion and acid resistance accessories, crusher parts, piston pin sleeve, friction plate and other parts;The excellent casting and cutting functions of other copper sleeves make them very simple and cheap in the manufacturing of bimetal casting materials, general purpose layout parts, ship surfaces, sliders, sleeves and other parts.
- In the smelter, mine, steel plant rolling machinery and equipment about the choice of wear resistance of copper sleeve, bronze bushings of endurance, generally aluminum bronze.
- On the power plant, gas turbine, electric plant power equipment high demand bronze bushings.Most of this equipment is operated in succession, the force of the bronze bearing is particularly large, the assembly and disassembly are difficult, and it is not convenient to replace, so the quality of the bronze bushings is very stable, wear-resistant and pressure-resistant.
- Printing, packaging machinery, food machinery, special copper sleeve and outer spherical bronze bushings.
- Plastics, chemical fiber machinery, film drawing, special bronze bearing and high temperature bronze bushing. With the development of science and technology, this type of mechanical equipment continues to improve, change with each passing day; Some abroad, domestic also have very soon, with its copper cover also bring forth the new. Conveyor belts are mostly.
