Sintered bronze Plain Bearing

Bronze sintered metal – maintenance-free

Material – Charakteristik

Self-lubricating, maintenance-free sintered metal with finely dispersed embedded solid lubricant.

The solid lubricant (99.9% high-purity, chemically neutral electro graphite) is embedded under pre-stress in micro-distribution throughout the sintered metal matrix.

The bearing surface therefore always contains sufficient solid lubricant — even during the smallest movements such as angular motion, vibrations, etc. — to ensure maintenance-free operation.

The ultra-pure lubricant ensures that electrolytic corrosion at the bearing point and surrounding components is prevented, even in water or humid atmospheres.

FOR PLAIN BEARING DESIGN

Recommended minimum wall thickness a of the plain bearing: (d = Ø bearing bore)

a = √ (d ⋅ 0,5)up to 10 N/mm²
a = √ (d ⋅ 0,6)above 10 to 25 N/mm²
a = √ (d ⋅ 0,8)above 25 N/mm²
Recommended fit for the plain bearing and mating components
