Bronze Bearings and Bronze Sleeve Bushings made of CuSn8 with Lubrication Indents, with Grease Reservoirs for Long Term Lubrication

Product Description: Bronze Bearings Made of CuSn8 with Lubrication Indents and Grease Reservoirs
FB090 and FB092 Bronze Bearings
The FB090 bronze bearing is constructed from high-density CuSn8P (tin bronze) alloy, featuring a specially formulated, high-density copper strip as the base material. Its surface is precisely rolled with either diamond-shaped oil pockets or hemispherical oil grooves, depending on the user’s specific requirements. This innovative design offers high bearing pressure resistance, excellent wear resistance, and an extended service life. The design allows the FB090 bearing to replace traditional cast copper sleeves, reducing mechanical volume and overall costs.
FB092 Bronze Bearings are similarly made from CuSn8P, with the surface of the bearing incorporating evenly spaced lubricating through-holes, which are positioned at a specific angle and density. This design facilitates the formation of an oil film during operation, significantly reducing the coefficient of friction. Both the FB090 and FB092 bearings are recognized for their excellent fatigue strength, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and high load-bearing capacity. These properties make them ideal for applications in high-load, low-speed environments.
Structural Properties and Uses
- FB090 Bronze Coiled Bearings: These bearings are made from CuSn8P and feature diamond-shaped oil pockets on the surface that store grease, extending refueling intervals and improving lubrication performance. These bearings are particularly suitable for high-load, low-speed applications.
- FB092 Bronze Coiled Bearings: These bearings are also made from CuSn8P, with uniformly arranged lubricating through-holes. They can store grease and form an oil film during operation, further reducing friction. The FB092 series is widely used in agricultural machinery, construction machinery, and other high-load, low-speed applications.
Product Advantages
- Material and Cost Efficiency: The FB090 and FB092 bearings save a significant amount of copper material and reduce machining time compared to traditional copper sleeves.
- Lightweight and Cost-Effective: These bearings are lighter than vehicle-made bushings or rolling bearings, offering a more affordable solution.
- Extended Maintenance Intervals: The bearings are capable of storing grease on their friction surfaces, which extends the lubrication interval up to five times longer than that of copper sleeves.
- High Load-Capacity: These bearings are designed to withstand extreme loads, making them ideal for use in rough friction surfaces.
- Versatility: The bearings can be processed with various hole patterns or lubrication pits, providing flexibility for different operational needs.
Metallographic Features
- FB090 Material Structure: The high-density bronze roll-forming process, along with the spherical oil pockets, reduces wear, improves anti-corrosion performance, and prolongs service life. The oil pockets are specially synthesized to minimize wear.
- FB092 Material Structure: The regular arrangement of oil holes on the surface enables the bearing to store grease, which can be applied before or after assembly. This ensures the easy formation of an oil film during operation, significantly reducing the friction coefficient.
Applications
These bearings are widely used in machinery and equipment across various industries, including:
- Agricultural Machinery
- Construction Machinery
- Forest Machinery
- Lifting and Hoisting Equipment (e.g., conveyors, elevators, hoists, levelers)
- Automotive and Tractor Chassis
- Machine Tool Industry
- Mining Machinery
- Steel Rolling Industry
FB090 and FB092 bearings are commonly found in applications such as lifting machinery, conveyors, automotive chassis, and agricultural equipment, offering a compact and cost-effective alternative to traditional copper sleeves. They can also be manufactured into bearing bushes, flanged bushings, thrust washers, and ball bowls.
Conclusion
The FB090 and FB092 bronze bearings represent an advanced solution for high-load, low-speed applications, providing superior lubrication, enhanced wear resistance, and reduced maintenance costs. These bearings are an excellent choice for industries requiring long-lasting, reliable bearing solutions in demanding conditions.
