Self-lubricating properties of bronze alloys
A distinctive feature of FB090 bronze wrapped bearings is its good self-lubricating properties. This characteristic allows bronze bearings to effectively reduce friction and wear under low lubrication conditions, which is particularly important in mechanical equipment working in harsh environments. The constituent elements of bronze, such as lead and tin, can form a protective film on the contact surface, further reducing the friction coefficient and thus increasing the service life.
Performance under high load
The wear resistance of bronze bearings is particularly outstanding under high load conditions. While stainless steel excels in corrosion resistance compared to stainless steel, bronze is better able to withstand loads under high friction and pressure without being easily damaged. The toughness and deformation resistance of bronze material enable it to maintain good operating condition during long-term operation, reducing the risk of equipment failure.
Comparison with plastic bearings
In comparison with plastic bearings, FB090 bronze wrapped bearings show obvious advantages. Although plastic bearings are widely used because of their light weight and low cost, in high temperature and high load environments, the wear resistance and strength of plastics are insufficient and they are prone to deformation or failure. On the contrary, the high temperature resistance of bronze allows it to maintain stable performance under extreme conditions, ensuring efficient operation of equipment.
Application areas and future prospects
FB090 bronze wrapped bearings are widely used in heavy machinery, automotive engines and high-precision equipment due to their excellent wear resistance. In the future, with the continuous development of industrial technology, bronze bearings will face more challenges and opportunities. Researchers and manufacturers can further improve the performance of bronze bearings by optimizing material composition and processing techniques to meet increasingly demanding industrial needs.
