Copper-based inlaid graphite thrust washer

Copper base inlaid graphite thrust washer

The copper-based inlaid graphite thrust washer is a high-performance solid lubricated bearing component, specially designed to withstand heavy loads, low speeds, high temperatures and conditions where conventional lubrication is difficult. Its main features and advantages include:

• Material composition: The base body is usually made of high-strength brass or bronze alloy, such as high-strength brass, to ensure sufficient mechanical strength and corrosion resistance. On this basis, graphite is embedded as a solid lubricant. Graphite was chosen for its low coefficient of friction, good wear resistance and self-lubricating properties.
• Carrying capacity: It has a high carrying capacity and can adapt to heavy load conditions, making it an ideal choice for heavy machinery and equipment.
• High temperature resistance: It can maintain stable performance in high temperature environments and is suitable for high temperature working environments such as metallurgy and steel rolling.
• Self-lubricating properties: The self-lubricating properties of graphite enable the gasket to effectively reduce friction and wear even in the absence of external lubrication, extending its service life. It is suitable for situations where it is difficult to refuel or where it is difficult to form an oil film.
• Low noise: The noise generated during operation is small, suitable for application environments that require noise control.
• Corrosion resistance: Both the copper alloy matrix and graphite have good corrosion resistance and are not afraid of erosion by water and other chemical media. They are suitable for water treatment, chemical equipment and other fields.
• Wide application: Widely used in metallurgical continuous casting machines, train supports, steel rolling equipment, mining machinery, ships, turbines, sluice gates and other industries, as well as other mechanical equipment that require long-term stable operation under harsh working conditions.

In summary, copper-based graphite thrust washers have become an indispensable component in many industrial fields due to their unique performance advantages, especially in environments that require heavy loads, low speeds, high temperatures, corrosive or difficult maintenance in working mechanical systems.
