CAST BRONZE BUSHINGS

Cast bronze bearings are machined from continuous cast C93200 (SAE 660) bronze for superior quality and performance. The continuous casting process assures a uniform bronze structure throughout the bearing, free from porosity and hard particle inclusions commonly found in other cast processes. Our standard bearing line features over 1,000 sizes that are carried in stock. These standards provide off-the-shelf economy for most applications, and may be easily resized, oil grooved, or graphited to meet special requirements.

OIL / GREASED GROOVED BEARINGS


We offer Grooving & Grease grooving.  We will cut standard loops, straight, or figure eight lubrication grooves. Any of our standard stock sizes of sleeve type bronze bearings are adaptable to grooving.  You select your desired size and we add the lubricant of your choice.  Unless otherwise specified , the width & depth of the oil grooves will be proportional to the wall thickness and size of the bearing, contained within the bearing. Additionally, we specialize in cutting custom groove patterns!  Just send over your pattern and chances are we can cut it!

GRAPHITE PLUGGED BEARINGS


Any of our standard stock sizes of sleeve type bronze bearings are adaptable to graphiting.  There are various styles of graphiting available, however we specialize in custom cuttin!.  Graphite is mechanically forced into the groove under extreme pressure.  A film of lubricant is transferred to the shaft as it begins to turn. 

The depth and width of the groove depend upon the wall thickness, bearing diameter and other factors that may vary with the individual application.

NOTE:
These bearings are free reaming and should be ordered or reamed at assembly.  So, the I.D. is from .001 to .002" greater than would be needed if an ungraphited bearing were being used.
