Bronze Bushing
When it comes to precision engineering and reliable motion, few components perform quite like a bronze bushing. Designed for heavy loads, oscillating movements, and maintenance free operation, these powerhouses keep machinery running smoothly. Whether it’s in construction equipment, marine gear, or manufacturing systems, bronze bushings solutions that balances strength and durability.
Bronze Bushes
Bronze bushes, also known as bushings or sleeves, are utilised to reduce friction and prevent corrosion between moving parts. With exceptional wear resistance under pressure, bronze bushes can handle radial and axial loads with ease. From metric to imperial sizes, there’s a range of products to suit almost any application.
Heavy Duty
For heavy duty machinery, bronze bushings are the go-to solution. They’re created to carry heavy loads without deformation, thanks to their robust compositions and engineered properties. Their self lubricating design often using embedded ptfe or graphite plugs, means they can operate with minimal external lubrication, saving both time and grease. The result? A truly maintenance free operation that’s excellent for harsh environments.
Exceptional Properties
One of the standout properties of bronze bushings is their superior sliding properties. This ensures smoother movement, lower friction, and significantly reduces wear on both the bushing and the shaft. Whether under low or high loads, the bushing remains stable and reliable.
Self Lubricating Advantage
Self lubricating bronze bushings eliminate the need for constant lubrication, making them suitable for places where regular maintenance is difficult. The embedded oil or ptfe layer creates a consistent film that protects against friction and corrosion, even in heavy duty or outdoor applications.
Prevents Corrosion
Because bronze is naturally resistant to corrosion, these bearings thrive in humid, marine, or chemically challenging environments. This deters corrosion and extends service life, ensuring the machinery remains dependable and efficient.
Easy Installation
The installation of bronze bushings is straightforward. Their machining precision allows a perfect fit to any diameter, and they’re often press-fit into housing or retained with adhesive. Whether used in bushes, sleeves, or bearings, they integrate seamlessly with modern equipment designs.
Versatile Materials and Compositions
Bronze bushings come in a range of compositions, including tin bronze, aluminum bronze, and leaded bronze. Each offers a balance of performance and wear resistance, tailored to different applications. Some are designed for low friction, others for heavy loads—but all deliver outstanding reliability.
Ideal for Modern Industries
From aerospace to agriculture, bronze bushings are a trusted choice. Their suitable properties and heavy duty reliability make them an ideal choice wherever precision and durability matter most.
Whether you’re sourcing bronze bushes for new equipment or upgrading existing bearings, choosing solid bronze ensures dependability. With their ability to reduce friction, prevent corrosion, and handle heavy loads, bronze bushings remain one of the most versatile and long-lasting products in industrial engineering.
SBS Bronze Bushings / Bronze Bushes
SBS presents a wide variety of bearing / bushing materials for specific needs! The following products are a handful of bushes SBS carries.
SBS LUB-MET®
For high operational demand, oscillating movements, unsusceptibility to dirt and long life capability, consider the SBS LUB-MET® for maintenance-free operation without the need for external lubrication! The solid bronze sliding bearing with solid lubricant inserts is also maintenance-free. Our solid lubricants are high density compounds of graphite, PTFE and metals. LUB-MET® is a maintenance-free sliding bearing! Therefore, lithium-stiffened grease should be used.
PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) can be incorporated into bronze bushings to create a composite bearing that combines strength with the low-friction.
SBS BRO-MAS®
This maintenance-bound sliding bearing is designed for operation in contaminated environments. Its properties maintains good corrosion resistance and is unsusceptible to impact load. It is a solid turned bronze sliding bearing with DIN 1850 / ISO 4379 and available in various alloys. Oil or grease lubrication is necessary.
SBS GAP-MET®/M
The SBS GAP-MET®/M is a maintenance-free, self-lubricating solid bronze sliding bearing with excellent sliding properties, manufactured employing sintering technique! it is manufactured employing the sintering technique, has a high load capacity and stability and is unsusceptible to dirt. The GAP-MET®/M’s properties also deliver no moisture absorption, good chemical resistance, great temperature resistance and can be reworked mechanically.
SBS GAP-MET®/S
The GAP-MET®/S with steel backing is a wrapped sliding bearing with graphite impregnated bronze. has high load capacity and stability and is suitable for all slow movements! This material also works great in contaminated environments, has chemical resistance and does not absorb any moisture.
