Our selection of bronze bushings is suitable for a wide range of industries.

Bronze bushings and bearings, particularly those made of CuSn8 (a type of tin bronze), are designed for long-term lubrication and efficiency in various applications. Here’s a detailed breakdown of their composition and features:

Composition

  • CuSn8 (Bronze Alloy):
    • Copper (Cu): 91.3% – 92.8%
    • Tin (Sn): 7.2% – 8.5%
    • Other Elements: A small percentage of other elements may be present to enhance specific properties.

Design Features

  • Lubricating Holes/Grease Reservoirs:
    • These holes or reservoirs are strategically placed to retain lubricants, ensuring consistent lubrication over extended periods.
    • They reduce friction and wear, recognized to longer operational life and less maintenance.

Benefits of CuSn8 Bronze Bushings and Bearings

  1. High Load Capacity: CuSn8 bronze can withstand significant loads without deforming.
  2. Corrosion Resistance: This alloy resists corrosion, making it suitable for various environments, including marine and industrial applications.
  3. Wear Resistance: The tin content provides excellent wear resistance, ensuring longevity.
  4. Low Maintenance: The grease reservoirs facilitate long-term lubrication, reducing the need for frequent maintenance.
  5. Good Thermal Conductivity: CuSn8 bronze efficiently dissipates heat generated during operation, preventing overheating.

Applications

  • Automotive Industry: Used in engines, transmissions, and other high-load, high-temperature environments.
  • Industrial Machinery: Ideal for heavy-duty equipment where reliable performance is crucial.
  • Marine Equipment: Suitable for use in propellers, rudder bearings, and other components exposed to seawater.

The combination of CuSn8’s material properties and the design of grease reservoirs makes these bushings and bearings highly effective for applications requiring durable, low-maintenance solutions

The FB090 and FB092 series wrapped bronze bushings stand out as self-lubricating bearings crafted from strips of bronze, specifically utilizing the CuSn8 and CuSn6 bronze alloys. These bushings are engineered for optimal performance in applications that demand high load capacity, adept at handling both axial and radial stresses. Notably, they exhibit exceptional corrosion resistance, making them particularly suitable for use in saltwater conditions, and present a more economical option compared to traditional machined, roller, or ball bearings.

The construction of the FB090 and FB092 bushings features a wrapped design, produced through a process of cold forming homogeneous bronze, which results in superior material characteristics. The bushings‘ inner surface is designed with diamond-shaped or round lubrication indentations or holes, tailored to meet specific client needs. These lubrication aids are crucial for forming a quick lubricating film at the onset of movement, thereby minimizing initial friction and wear.

These bushings find their applications across various sectors, including but not limited to, the agricultural and automotive fields, as well as in heavy machinery, construction equipment, and lifting devices. The inherent self-lubricating nature of these bushings renders them particularly advantageous for dry operation conditions, while their robustness and resistance to wear align them with high-load demands.

The FB090 series is indicative of the standard model of wrapped bronze bushings, whereas the FB092 series is distinguished by the inclusion of lubrication-enhancing holes, further improving wear resistance. Both variants are offered in a multitude of sizes and can be tailored to fulfill the requisites of specific applications.

In essence, the FB090 and FB092 bronze bushings are dependable, low-maintenance, and corrosion-resistant bearing solutions, offering a cost-efficient alternative to conventional bearings. Their versatility and durability make them suitable for a broad spectrum of industrial applications.

Custom Bearing Forms and Designs

Bronze bearings and bushings can be manufactured in various forms and dimensions to meet specific application requirements. Custom bearing forms made to order include cylindrical bushes with non-standard dimensions and tailored designs.

Types of Custom Bearing Forms

  1. Cylindrical Bushes:

    • These are the most common form of bushings and are typically used to support rotating or sliding shafts.
    • Custom dimensions can be specified to fit unique application needs, ensuring a precise fit and optimal performance.
  2. Flanged Bushes:

    • Designed with an integral flange on one end to provide axial location and to simplify assembly.
    • Custom flanged bushes can be produced with specific flange thicknesses, diameters, and overall lengths.
  3. Thrust Washers:

    • Used to support axial loads and to reduce friction between rotating surfaces.
    • Custom dimensions and thicknesses can be specified based on the application’s requirements.
  4. Slide Plates:

    • Flat plates used in various industrial applications to facilitate smooth movement between surfaces.
    • Custom slide plates can be manufactured with specific lengths, widths, and thicknesses.

Customization Options

  • Material Composition:

    • While CuSn8 is a common material for bronze bushings, other bronze alloys or materials can be used based on the application’s requirements for load capacity, corrosion resistance, and thermal conductivity.
  • Lubrication Features:

    • Custom lubrication holes, grease grooves, or reservoirs can be incorporated to ensure long-term lubrication and reduce maintenance needs.
  • Dimensional Specifications:

    • Outer diameter, inner diameter, and length can all be customized to fit non-standard dimensions required by unique applications.
  • Surface Treatments:

    • Additional surface treatments such as plating or coating can be applied to enhance wear resistance, reduce friction, or provide additional corrosion protection.

Advantages of Custom Bearings

  1. Precision Fit:

    • Custom dimensions ensure a perfect fit within the application, recognized to optimal performance and reduced wear.
  2. Application-Specific Design:

    • Custom designs cater to specific operational requirements, whether it’s high load capacity, high-speed rotation, or exposure to harsh environments.
  3. Enhanced Performance:

    • Tailored lubrication features and material choices enhance the bearing’s performance, longevity, and reliability.

Manufacturing Process

  1. Design Consultation:

    • Work with engineers and designers to specify the exact requirements and dimensions needed for the application.
  2. Prototyping:

    • A prototype may be produced to test the fit and performance before full-scale production.
  3. Production:

    • Utilizing advanced manufacturing techniques such as CNC machining, custom bearings are produced to precise specifications.
  4. Quality Control:

    • Rigorous quality control processes ensure that each custom bearing meets the required standards and specifications.

Conclusion

Custom bronze bushings and bearings, including cylindrical bushes with non-standard dimensions and specialized designs, provide tailored solutions for a wide range of industrial applications.
