Graphite Plugged Bronze Bushings are all self-lubricating and maintenance free. These bushings are machined out of continuous cast bronze and plugged with solid lubricant plugs. A bushing and its mating surface should always be separated by a film of lubricant. With Graphite Plugged Bronze Bushings no form of supplementary lubrication is required.

A film of solid lubricant is transferred unto the shaft as it starts to run. The self-lubricating features allow the graphite plugged bushings to be used where oiling is difficult, expensive to implement and where grease/oil cannot be used. Excellent lubrication is achieved even under high loads at low speeds.

APPLICATIONS

The applications for graphite plugged bushings are virtually unlimited. From hard to maintenance applications to high temperature environments to heavy loaded applications, graphite plugged bronze bushings exhibit an excellent service and wear resistance. Such applications include:

Steel Mills, Furnace dragouts, Drying Equipment, Roasters, Heat Exchangers, Press dies, Assembly lines, Machine tools, Chain Conveyors, Off shore structures, Deck cranes, Winches, Hatch covers, Rudder arms, Hoisting equipment, Tire & Paper Mills, Toggle link bearings for injection mold machinery, Mixers, Grinders, Pulverizers, Construction machinery, Mining rigs, Arm link bearings, Power shovels, and more.
