Proper Installation Method Of Sintered Bronze Bushing

     The main function of sintered bronze bushings is to reduce friction and wear in rotating and sliding applications. The porous structure of the sintered copper material can retain a good amount of lubricating oil, which can continuously supply oil to the friction surface. This reduces the friction between the shaft and the bushing, effectively reducing the wear of the bushing and prolonging the service life.

     When installing sintered bronze bushings, it is important to choose the right size and fit. The bushing should be slightly larger than the shaft to ensure a tight fit. Before installing, the shaft and the bushing should be cleaned thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. Lubrication should also be applied to the shaft and the inside of the bushing to ensure smooth rotation.

      The installation methods of sintered bronze bushings can vary depending on the application. They can be pressed into a housing or inserted into a bearing. In some cases, they can also be secured in place with screws or wedges.

      Note： Sintered bronze bushings are not suitable for high-speed or high-temperature applications. If used under these conditions, the sintered copper material may become brittle and cause premature failure.
