Guide Bushings

Ready bearings and sliding elements with specially designedsolid lubricantdeposit

Ready ​​red bronze alloybearings and guiding bushings

Thanks to the 25 to 30% proportion of solid lubricant in the total sliding surface, we obtain maintenance-free operations after a first lubrication. This is a desired result for the scope where oil and fat are unwanted (eg. medecine, clean rooms, hardly accessible places).

Red bronze alloy CuZnPbSn5  consists of:copper85% / tin 5% /zinc 5% /lead 5%. It can be used for easy applications thanks to lower production costs.

Advantages ofsolid lubricantbushings

Advantages of bronzebushings

• Maintenance-free or low-maintenance operation with a significant prolongation of maintenance efforts
• High staticand dynamic loading capacity.
• Low coefficient of friction(similar togrease)
• No stick-slip

• Good emergency operating features
• Long tool life
• Highpressurestability
• Also suitableforuse onunhardened wavesand slight edge pressure

Bothtypes of guiding bushings and guiding bushing elementshave the followingcharacteristics: High wearresistance andtemperatureresistance, goodthermal conductivityand high corrosionresistance.Allsizesavailable from stock.
