Semicorex Graphite Copper Sleeve is a type of sleeve that relies on its own lubricant for lubrication. The product uses copper alloy as the base material, with orderly arranged and appropriately sized holes drilled into the base, and then graphite plugs are embedded in it. Semicorex can supply the finished graphite copper sleeve, or customized graphite plugs.*
Semicorex Graphite Copper Sleeve is a self-lubricating sleeve. The graphite as a lubricant material is plugged in the friction surface of the bushing, the lubricating film will be formed when running, to decrease the friction. Because of the mechanical properties of graphite material, the JDB self-lubricating bushing has lubricating effect, to replace the lubricant oil. It can decrease the maintenance cost, also reduces lubricant contamination and can handle equipment with higher load capacities.
The principle of graphite copper sleeve:
Generally, the solid lubricant accounts for 20-30% of the friction surface area. The principle of the graphite copper sleeve is part of graphite particles are transferred to the friction surface between the shaft and bearing during the process they sliding and friction, and it will form a stable solid lubricating film, to prevent wear and tear when they directly touch. This reasonable combination complex the performance advantages of the metal alloy and non-metal material, not only the high loading ability, but also the lubricating performance of the material. So this sleeve is quite suitable for the environment of oil-free, low-oil, high-temperature, high-loading, or water.
The advantages of graphite copper sleeve:
1.Excellent loading capacity
The graphite copper sleeve has the good load-bear capacity, it is outstanding performance compared to the same type products, so it is so suitable for the production need in heavy industry. The technique is mature, and the need is high in current market. And the need from heavy industry is also highly exceed to other products.
2.Self-lubricating property
The graphite copper sleeve is self-lubricating, which can prevent the formation of friction, thereby improving durability. Even after long periods of use, the sleeve will not suffer serious damage, which is reassuring for customers. Few materials possess this property, and the sleeve with this feature has been highly recommended by customers.
3.Long lifespan
The graphite copper sleeve has a lot of advantages, it has a long lifetime with its self-lubricating feature, and even no need to add other lubricant oil.
4.Flexible operation method
The graphite copper sleeve has a flexible operation method, it can be machined in the process of assembly, and it is less prone to errors. The flexible operation is very convenient for the production in enterprise, which can effectively improve production efficiency.
