What makes Sintered Bronze & Iron Bearings different from other bearings?
Sintered Bronze & Iron Bearings are self-lubricating components manufactured through high-precision powder metallurgy. Each bearing is impregnated with oil during production, providing consistent lubrication, reduced friction, and minimal maintenance throughout its service life.
Can Sintered Bronze & Iron Bearings be customized?
Yes. Bowman Plain Bearings can design and manufacture fully customized sintered bronze and iron bearings, as well as structural powdered metal components, tailored to meet specific dimensional, performance, and application requirements.
What materials are used for Sintered Bronze & Iron Bearings?
These bearings are produced using oil-retaining tin bronze, iron-copper, and Iron formulations. Each material type is selected based on load capacity, operating environment, speed, and motion profile.
How should Sintered Bronze & Iron Bearings be stored?
Store the bearings in a clean, non-absorbent container at room temperature. Avoid heat exposure, as it may cause oil depletion. If storage conditions are uncertain, re-oil or soak the bearings prior to installation to ensure optimum lubrication.
