self-lubricating bronze graphite bearings
The robust self-lubricating bronze graphite bearings boast a load capacity superior to any other proprietary plain bearing. With exceptional heat, speed, and corrosion resistance, they provide a durable bearing solution capable of withstanding the most extreme conditions.

Cast bronze bearings with Grease groove
Modification of standard cast bronze bearing components, including adjustments to bores, outer diameters, and lengths, along with the incorporation of graphite lubrication, drilling of holes, cutting of grooves, shaping of flats, etc.

Grease Groove Wear Plates
Manufacture of cast bronze plate with groove, Grease Groove Wear Plates. In scenarios where wear plates with graphite are unsuitable, the traditionally lubricated grease groove wear plates serve as an excellent alternative. These are available in a variety of inch sizes in both bronze and aluminum bronze with or without Graphite

POM Lined Wrapped Bearings
VIIPLUS provides an extensive selection of PTFE lined wrapped bearings, available in metric plain, imperial plain, metric flanged, metric washers, imperial washers, metric strip, and imperial strip configurations. Custom sizes can be manufactured according to client specifications. Comparable substitutes from other brands include Low Friction Bushing

PTFE Lined Wrapped Bearings
The assortment of PTFE lined wrapped bearings is ideal for applications requiring dry running, low friction, and minimal wear. These bearings exhibit outstanding sliding properties, creating a transfer film that safeguards the corresponding metal surface.
high performance Bushing and bearing solutions for power plants
We provide tailored bearing solutions for the hydropower industry, leveraging our expertise and innovative designs. Our self-lubricating bronze bearings are engineered for hydropower applications, featuring machinable inner and outer diameters, dimensional flexibility, and exceptional corrosion resistance. These bearings deliver low wear and high performance in hydropower equipment.
The self-lubricating series represents a significant advancement in plain bearing technology, as recognized by industry media. This heavy-duty line outperforms all proprietary plain bearings in load capacity. Its resistance to heat, speed, and corrosion results in a robust bearing that withstands demanding conditions.
The self-lubricating metal polymer bearing bushing material exhibits superior resistance to saltwater corrosion, hydrogen embrittlement, and chloride stress-corrosion cracking, outpacing many copper alloys. Notably, under certain sulfide conditions, its corrosion resistance rivals that of stainless steel and nickel alloys.
Environmentally friendly self-lubricating bronze bearings, Cast Bronze
We work closely with hydropower industry clients to identify tailored solutions for their needs. Our tight tolerance hydropower bearings, featuring a machinable liner, offer excellent dimensional stability due to low water absorption. This enhances reliability, reduces downtime, lowers maintenance costs, and decreases warranty claims, marking a significant advancement in bearing bushing design and functionality with the Viiplus line of heavy-duty bearings.

Why choose Radial spherical plain bearings Bushing?
Spherical plain bearings, also known as bushings, are metal-on-metal bearings featuring a spherically ground inner ring enclosed within a mating outer ring, devoid of rolling elements. They may be self-lubricating with brass or bronze graphite. An economical option is the copper alloy oil-free bushing, crafted with cost-effectiveness in mind. While all plain bearings are meticulously ground and fashioned from through-hardened steel, custom orders are welcome. These bespoke orders can incorporate special materials, clearances, surface finishes, or configurations tailored to suit specific and distinctive applications. Explore our range of bearing and self-lubricating solutions designed specifically for the energy market, including the hydropower industry. These graphite bronze self-lubricating bearings are ideal for handling heavy static and dynamic loads at lower speeds. They allow for multi-directional movements and can adjust to misalignments. Additionally, they adapt to the deformation of adjacent components during operation and can accommodate broad manufacturing tolerances, supporting the use of cost-efficient, welded assemblies.
