Why Self-lubricating Bronze Bushings Do Not Require Oiling?
Self-lubricating Bronze Bushing Without Oiling – This product consists of a copper alloy matrix inlaid as a solid lubricant graphite composition. The graphite acts as the lubricator. These are used in high-temperature applications or applications with a heavy load-bearing requirement.
How Do Self Lubricating Bronze Bearings Work?
Self-lubricating Bronze Bushing Without Oiling
From life to industry, look around the machines you see. Every machine in a building, consisting of any level of moving parts, may need to utilize some type of bearing. Bearings allow for rotation or movement while eliminating as much stress and friction as possible. There are countless different types of bearings in terms of style and function. Today, we will introduce you to self-lubricating bronze bearings. Let’s find out what these bearings are, how they work, and why you should use them.
Why Use Self-lubricating Bronze Bushings?
In industrial applications, one of the most consistent sources of bearing failure is improper lubrication. This means that the bearing is not properly lubricated, which results in constant forces and friction that create stress. This force and friction lead to bearing failures that can range from a minimum of neck pain to a maximum of a productivity killer for your business. Self-lubricating bronze bearings, on the other hand, automatically form a lubricating film during use. Manual lubrication is not necessary for these types of bearings, so it reduces both failure rates and saves costs.

Oil Embedded Bronze Sleeve Bearing VS Plug Graphite Bearing
Oil Embedded Bronze Sleeve Bearing
Oil Embedded Bronze Sleeve Bearings are bronze bushing manufactured through the powdered metallurgy process. In the final stages the bushings are impregnated with oil. They are also referred to as sintered bronze bushings or by a designation of SAE 841 Oil Impregnated Bushings.
Self Lubricating Bronze Bearing
They are both “self-lubricating bushings” – eliminating the need for any further additional lubrication. Just differ in how they are manufactured and what they are used for.
