Bronze wrapped bushings, also known as wrapped bronze bearings or wrapped bronze bushings, are a type of plain bearing that consists of a steel backing with a layer of porous bronze material wrapped around it. The bronze layer is typically impregnated with a solid lubricant, such as graphite, to provide self-lubrication.
Bronze wrapped bushings are commonly used in applications where there is a high load, low speed, or oscillating motion. They are particularly suited to harsh and dirty environments, such as construction and agricultural equipment, where frequent maintenance or lubrication is difficult.
The steel backing of the bronze wrapped bushing provides strength and rigidity, while the porous bronze layer allows for the retention of lubricant and the distribution of pressure. The solid lubricant, impregnated in the bronze layer, allows for the bushing to self-lubricate, reducing friction and wear.
Bronze wrapped bushings are also resistant to corrosion and can operate in a wide range of temperatures. They are available in various sizes and dimensions to suit different applications and can be customized to fit specific requirements.
Some of the advantages of using
bronze wrapped bushings include reduced maintenance and downtime, longer service life, and cost-effectiveness. They are also relatively easy to install and require no additional lubrication, making them a popular choice in a range of industrial and commercial applications.
