Brass bushings are:
- high mechanical, deformation and anti-friction strength as well as wear resistance;
- thermal stability (up to +450С) and inertness to corrosion;
- optimal plasticity;
- the ability to absorb dirt particles;
- wide range of diameters;
- low price.
The bushings are produced in standard dimensions (diameter up to 700 mm) or non-standard dimensions on request and are widely used in industrial technology, automotive industry (dump trucks, tractors, excavators), mining, pumps and compressors.
This makes brass cheaper and more durable than copper and bronze. These features make it desirable.
Brass bushings are often used as universal plain bearings, providing the best balance between affordability, quality and functionality. The bearings can be subjected to sufficient loads without breaking, and if they break, they will not damage other parts of the mechanism. They have high anti-friction parameters and work in a wide range of temperatures. Suitable for modes: heavy load – low speed, light load – high speed.
