Bronze Bushing

A bronze sleeve is a consumable, a cylindrical part that is used in machines and mechanisms that are subject to constant loads. Depending on the purpose of bronze bushings, there are fastening, bearing, transitional bushings and others.

Bronze bushings are used in chemical, light, heavy industry, as well as in various branches of mechanical engineering (for example, in nodes of quarry ECG excavators).

Today, bronze bushings are one of the most popular and sought-after rolled bronze products. Due to the high quality of products, valuable physico-chemical characteristics, strength, bronze bushings can be used in mechanisms that are subject to high loads.

Bronze bushings are the most plastic and soft assembly element. Bronze bushings undergo deformations and intense mechanical loads, thereby “taking a hit” on themselves. At the same time, the main parts of the friction assembly remain safe, and their service life is significantly increased.

Since bronze is a ductile metal with anti-friction qualities, the classic purpose of bronze bushings is to perform the role of sliding bearings. This consumable is used for household and industrial equipment: pumps, turbines, rolling mills, many types of machines and installations, reducers, generators, etc. In mechanical engineering, bronze bushings are used in the construction of excavators, bulldozers and other heavy equipment.

Due to high corrosion resistance, bronze bushings are suitable for use in mechanisms that are constantly in contact with various aggressive environments. The high plasticity of the metal prevents splitting of the bushings during installation or during operation, preserving the integrity of the friction unit.

Bronze bushings are widely needed in electrical engineering and mechanical engineering. Good compatibility with chrome-plated and steel parts, high wear resistance and thermal conductivity ensure the popularity of this bronze casting product in various branches of machine and instrument construction.

Due to the simple configuration, bronze bushings are easily changed without requiring significant investments in repair work.
