Sleeve Bushings (Base) | Washing Machine Gearboxes, Industrial Gear Systems | Material: Copper-Brass Alloy (ISO 281 compliant) ▲ Lubrication: Carbon-Infused Surface (reduces friction by 40% vs oil) | ▲ Low maintenance, self-lubricating ▲ High durability (ASTM D543 compliant) | Slightly higher cost than bronze bushings Not ideal for extreme temperatures |
Sleeve Bushings (Advanced) | High-Performance Machinery, Harsh Environments | Material: Copper-Brass-Graphite Composite (ASTM F1473) ▲▲ Load Capacity: 45 kN (▲▲ vs Base) | ▲▲ Enhanced wear resistance (50+ chemical exposures) ▲▲ 30% higher load tolerance | Premium pricing Requires specialized installation |
Bronze Bushings (Industry Standard) | General Industrial Machinery, Automotive Components | Material: Pure Bronze (ASTM B505) Lubrication: Oil-Based (ISO 3448) | Widely available, cost-effective Basic corrosion resistance | Requires frequent lubrication Lower wear resistance (15% less than copper-brass) |
Graphite-Infused Bushings (Advanced) | Chemical Plants, Food Processing Equipment | Material: Graphite-Reinforced Bronze (ISO 14243) Corrosion Resistance: Passes ASTM B117 salt spray test ▲▲ | ▲▲ 50% lower friction coefficient Resists aggressive chemicals | High cost Brittle under extreme thermal shock |
Self-Lubricating Bushings | Conveyor Systems, Robotics | Lubrication: Solid Lubricant (MoS₂ + Graphite) (ISO 1524) ▲ | No external lubrication needed Quiet operation (43 dBA ▲) | Limited load capacity (max 30 kN) Higher upfront cost |
High-Load Capacity Bushings | Heavy Machinery, Construction Equipment | Material: Heat-Treated Copper-Brass (▲▲ load rating per ISO 281) Thermal Stability: -40°C to 150°C ▲▲ | ▲▲ Handles 60 kN loads Resists thermal expansion | Bulky design Not suitable for precision applications |
