BRONZE BEARINGS & WEAR PLATES

Cast bronze bearings, flanged bearings, split bearings, made to order machine parts and bronze wear plates are available with oil grooves, grease grooves, graphite grooves and graphite plugs for lubricity. Our bronze bearings, bearing cages and wear plates are available in a variety of copper alloys. Copper alloy materials available range from bearing surfaces to wear and abrasion resistant surfaces. Oil impregnated sintered bronze sleeve bearings, flanged bearings, thrust bearings and sintered bronze plates are available for lighter duty maintenance free applications.  

Oil & Grease Groove Style Bearings Available

Grease Grooves vs. Oil Grooves

Grease grooves are typically wider and deeper than oil grooves. This is to hold a supply of grease and to provide for the thick grease to be forced in.

Oil grooves typically vary in width but are shallower than grease grooves. Most oil grooves are operating in a constant loss or closed oiling system that continually feeds the less viscous oil to the grooves.

Bronze Wear Plates & Components

Complete graphite plugging and oil grooving facilities are available for wear plates, bearings, die components and special machinery parts.

 

Continuous cast and centrifugal cast Bearing Bronze, Aluminum Bronze, Manganese Bronze, Nicomet® Spinodal Bronze and Diamondized Naval Brass wear and abrasion resistant parts are available. Wear plates are available with milled or ground surfaces and with countersunk bolt holes.

Our qualified support team can assist you with proper alloy selection for your bronze components. Our experience can save you money in research, design and production. Our copper alloy materials are available for a multitude of machine part applications relating to aerospace, automotive, power transmission, fluid transfer, mining and shipbuilding. Please send us your drawings for a prompt price and delivery quotation. Typical response time is 24 hours for specials, we quote standard parts same day.

NICOMET® Spinodal Bronze is a high strength copper alloy that has a low coefficient of sliding friction. In automotive stamping press wear plate applications Nicomet exhibits a substantial increase in part life over aluminum bronze wear plates.
