Glossary of Terms
Bronze Bushes:Ā Cylindrical bearing components manufactured from Bronze alloys, designed to provide low-friction rotation or sliding motion between mechanical parts.
Bronze Bushings:Ā Sleeve-type bearings made from Bronze materials, used to reduce friction and wear in mechanical assemblies.
Phosphor Bronze:Ā Bronze alloy containing phosphorus additions for enhanced strength, corrosion resistance, and spring properties.
Aluminum Bronze:Ā High-strength Bronze alloy containing aluminum for superior mechanical properties and corrosion resistance.
Leaded Bronze:Ā Bronze alloy containing lead additions for improved machinability and self-lubricating properties.
Tin Bronze:Ā Traditional Bronze alloy containing tin as the primary alloying element for general bearing applications.
Centrifugal Casting:Ā Manufacturing process using centrifugal force to produce dense, high-quality Bronze components.
Flanged Bushings:Ā Bronze Bushings with integral flange for axial positioning and load distribution.
Thrust Washers:Ā Flat Bronze components designed to handle axial loads in rotating machinery.
Bearing Clearance:Ā Controlled gap between Bronze Bushing inner diameter and shaft outer diameter.
Galling:Ā Surface damage caused by metal-to-metal contact under high pressure and sliding conditions.
