Bi-Metal Self-Lubricating Bearing
High tin aluminum plain bearing
Bimetallic bearing is one of the bearings without oil lubrication, the product is made of bimetallic strip with high quality low carbon steel back as the matrix, sintered aluminum-tin bronze alloy on the surface, after several times of high temperature sintering and compact rolling into copper and steel.It has high bearing capacity, impact resistance, high temperature resistance, strong self-lubricating ability and other characteristics, especially suitable for heavy load, low speed, reciprocating or swinging and other occasions difficult to lubricate and form oil film, also not afraid of water and other acid erosion and erosion.
Because the substrate is stable as low carbon steel material, the machining accuracy of the outer diameter is guaranteed, and after the product is loaded into the seat hole, there is no need for screw fixation, so the interference fit can prevent the phenomenon of going round outside.The change of chemical composition of inner surface alloy layer can meet the requirements of different bearing pressure, different service temperature and different sliding speed, and the design of oil groove and oil hole with different structure of friction surface in production can meet the requirements of different refueling methods, and can prevent the phenomenon of biting shaft.
Bimetallic bearing has the advantages of good wear resistance, especially suitable for medium speed, medium load and low speed and high load.Various oil slots, oil holes and oil holes can be machined on the friction surface by special technological means, so as to adapt to the use under different lubrication conditions.The products are mainly used in the balance bridge bushing and gasket of heavy vehicles.Automobile engine, chassis, motorcycle clutch, gear pump wipe plate and lifting equipment and other fields.

Range Of Application
High sliding speed, engine construction
Structures
1. Sinter bronze powder: good wear resistance and excellent load carrying capacity.
2. Steel backing: provides exceptionally high load carrying capacity, excellent heat dissipation.
3. Copper plating thickness 0.002mm provides good corrosion resistance.
Characteristics
The JF bi-metallic self-lubricating bearing uses a high quality low carbon steel plate as the base, porous sintered bronze as the surface, suitable for oscillating and alternating rotary movements under high load conditions. Slow speed, low friction, good resistance wear, long life and better prevent snagging.The surface of the bronze layer can be machined with various grooves, oil pockets in terms of different working conditions.The product is widely used in mining machinery, automotive, construction machinery, agricultural equipment, the steel rolling industry, etc. .
