Bearings and bushings both keep things from rubbing together and stop wear. However, bearings and bushings have different designs, functions, and applications. When you understand the differences, you choose the right product for your machinery. And that means your equipment runs better, costs less to maintain, and lasts longer.
Flanged sleeve bearings work well for many applications. They’re easy to install and provide superior results when it comes to carrying a load. Use them to solve a difficult manufacturing problem and you’ll be a hero. Understanding the differences between flanged sleeve bearings and the other types of bearings in the market helps you make the right choice for your machine’s specific needs.
For high wear and load, use phosphor or beryllium bronze. For corrosion resistance in marine/offshore, choose aluminum bronze. Tin bronze is a cost-effective option for wear and anti-friction.
Oil-impregnated bronze bushings are durable, low-maintenance, and corrosion-resistant, ideal for high-load, wear-resistant, and low-friction applications in various industries.
Bronze bushings that aren’t self-lubricating need putting grease or oil, but they also have a kind that is self-lubricating, where there are embedments of lubrication like graphite or PTFE.
You need to lubricate your brass bushings to keep them from sticking, prevent them from heating up, and keep them from wearing out. A good lubrication practice helps your brass bushings last a long time. Choose the right lubrication for your brass bushings, or it will cost you in maintenance and downtime for the machinery in which you use them.
