Bronze Graphite Bushing

Bronze graphite bushing, also called self-lubricating bushing, is composed of a bronze base and graphite plugs. The metal base of the bushing bears the load, while the embedded graphite plug serves a lubricating function. The graphite plugs embedded in bronze graphite bushing have inherent lubricating properties. They can effectively reduce the coefficient of friction without the need for additional lubricating oil or grease, effectively reduce the operating resistance of the equipment, reduce the wear of the bushing, and improve the energy utilization efficiency. The optimized design of the bronze base ensures the bushing a superior load-bearing capacity, which can meet the use requirements of heavy-load equipment. This bronze graphite bushing has excellent resistance to several corrosive media and are suitable for equipment in harsh corrosive conditions. It offers excellent thermal conductivity, enabling rapid heat dissipation. Thanks to its low coefficient of thermal expansion, bronze graphite bushing maintains excellent dimensional stability amid temperature fluctuations, thereby safeguarding the equipment's operational precision.

Advantages of bronze graphite bushings compared to conventional bearings in industrial settings

1.  It eliminates the need for additional lubricants, which significantly cuts down on equipment maintenance expenses.

2.  A low friction coefficient minimizes bushing wear and prolongs the overall service life of the equipment.

3.  It lowers maintenance demands and the likelihood of breakdowns, while also boosting the equipment's operational efficiency.

4.  It is well-suited to operate under complex and severe working environments.

Bronze graphite bushings are widely used in metallurgical steel rolling equipment, mining machinery, marine machinery, shipbuilding industry, aerospace and navigation, water turbines, gas turbines, filling equipment, instruments and meters, textile machinery, and have a broad application field in other industrial machinery.
