Self-lubricating Bars, Sliding Plate/ Wear Plate self-lubricating Bars
self-lubricating bars, Self-lubricating brass graphite bars, also known as graphite-embedded brass bushings or bearings, are specialized components designed for applications where maintenance is difficult and traditional lubrication methods are impractical. These bars are made from brass or bronze alloys and have solid lubricant graphite plugs or particles embedded within them. The graphite acts as a dry lubricant, providing a low friction surface and reducing wear on the bushing, even at high temperatures or under heavy loads.
Self-lubricating brass graphite bars provide an efficient solution for applications requiring durable, low-maintenance, and high-performance bearing surfaces. Their ability to operate without additional lubrication and withstand challenging conditions makes them a valuable component in a wide range of industrial machinery

As the table shows, oilless guide elements made of bronze with solid lubricant have a specific density of 8.2 kg/dm3, and a tensile strength between 750-800 N/mm2. The Brinell hardness is between 180-210 HB 10, and the yield point ranges from 450-550 N/mm2. The elongation to fracture is between 5-8%, and the elasticity module is between 105-115 kN/mm2.
The coefficient of friction ranges from 0.04-0.15, while the thermal conductivity is between 45-55 W/(m × K). The heat expansion coefficient is between 1.6-2.0 × 10-5 K-1. Additionally, the electrical conductance is between 7-8 m/(Ω × mm2), and the alternating flexural strength is ±150 N/mm2. Finally, the ratio of the sliding surface to lubricant deposits is between 25-30%.
Overall, these characteristics make oilless guide elements made of bronze with solid lubricant highly durable, wear-resistant, and able to withstand heavy loads and high-speed operation. The low coefficient of friction and high thermal conductivity also make them efficient and reliable components for a wide range of applications in machinery.

Mold and die sets are integral components of various manufacturing processes across different industries, including automotive, aerospace, and electronics. They are responsible for producing parts and products with high precision and accuracy. However, the efficiency and productivity of these sets depend on various factors, such as maintenance, lubrication, and wear resistance. Lubrication, in particular, plays a crucial role in ensuring the smooth operation and longevity of mould and die sets.
Traditionally, liquid lubricants have been used to lubricate mould and die sets. However, these lubricants have certain limitations, such as the need for frequent reapplication, susceptibility to contamination, and difficulty in lubricating hard-to-reach areas. To address these issues, Elf Lubricating Bars have been developed as a reliable solution for lubricating bronze with solid lubricant in mould and die sets.
Elf Lubricating Bars are solid lubricants that are specifically designed to provide effective lubrication to metal surfaces, including bronze, without the need for frequent reapplication. These bars are made of a unique blend of solid lubricants, including graphite and molybdenum disulfide, which provide superior lubrication and wear resistance properties. The bars are also formulated with a binder that ensures easy application and adherence to the metal surfaces.
The benefits of using Elf Lubricating Bars for lubricating bronze in mould and die sets are numerous. Firstly, they offer longer-lasting lubrication compared to liquid lubricants. The solid lubricant in the bars is gradually released onto the metal surface, providing continuous lubrication over an extended period. This reduces the frequency of reapplication and minimizes downtime for maintenance.
Secondly, Elf Lubricating Bars are highly resistant to contamination. Unlike liquid lubricants, which are prone to collecting dirt, dust, and other contaminants, the solid lubricant in the bars does not attract or accumulate these particles. This ensures that the lubrication remains effective and consistent, even in harsh working conditions.
Thirdly, Elf Lubricating Bars are easy to apply and can reach even hard-to-reach areas. The bars can be applied directly to the metal surface or by using a brush or other applicator. This allows for precise application of lubrication to specific areas, including areas that are difficult to access.
Finally, Elf Lubricating Bars offer superior wear resistance properties, which is critical in mould and die sets. These sets are subjected to high pressure, friction, and wear, which can lead to premature wear and failure of the components. The solid lubricant in the bars reduces friction and wear, ensuring the components last longer and operate more efficiently.
In conclusion, Elf Lubricating Bars offer a reliable solution for lubricating bronze with solid lubricant in mould and die sets. They provide longer-lasting lubrication, are highly resistant to contamination, easy to apply, and offer superior wear resistance properties. These benefits make Elf Lubricating Bars an ideal choice for manufacturers looking to improve the efficiency, productivity, and longevity of their mould and die sets.
