Customized copper alloy sliding bearings with lubrication grooves

Customized copper alloy sliding bearings may also be called solid bronze sliding bearings with lubrication grooves or specially shaped bronze turned sliding bearings.
The bushing is turned and milled from cast bronze. Features: The bearing performance of sliding bearings can be individually designed through the choice of alloy materials and the multiple possibilities of different lubrication groove shapes.
Custom copper alloy plain bearings are ideal for demanding applications in difficult conditions, which is why custom copper alloy plain bearings are the best solution for a variety of applications.
Customized copper alloy sliding bearings are provided exactly according to the user's specifications. Finish-turned copper alloy plain bearings are manufactured to order and special requirements including lubrication grooves and tolerances can also be considered and implemented.

Lubricating
Custom copper alloy sliding bearings are usually lubricated with grease, but oil can also be used. Due to lubrication, a lubricating film is formed between the sliding bearing and the shaft. This reduces friction and wear when using the bushing. All turned bronze plain bearings with an inner diameter of 14 mm or larger are equipped with axial lubrication grooves as standard. Additionally, additional lubricant can be retained in such lubrication grooves.
For heavily contaminated applications we recommend sealing the bearings to protect the bearings and lubricant.
