What is SAE 841?
Rigid, temperature resistant and high strength parts formed through the process of sintering, or powder metallurgy, sintered bronze parts are available in a number of different types.
What is sintered bronze?
Sintered bronze bearings are characterized by being self-lubricating and maintenance-free. The sintered bronze bearings are made of porous bronze or iron and are usually filled with oil. Their high permissible sliding velocities make these sintered bronze bearings ideally suited to rotating applications.
What is a sintered bushing?
Sintered bushings are named after their manufacturing method – the so-called “sintering”. In this process, metallic or ceramic powder is first pressed into shape and then cured under high temperature. Depending on the process and material, this results in a rather coarse-pored component.
Should you lubricate bronze bearings?
Bronze bearings need some sort of lubricant to reduce friction in virtually every application. While oil is sometimes used, most applications call for grease.
What are Sasae 841 oil impregnated bronze bearings?
SAE 841 Oil Impregnated Bronze Bearings from National Bronze Mfg are self lubricating and maintenance free. Manufactured through powdered metallurgy, this process gives the bearings tiny pores formed throughout the structure of the bearing.
Why choose powdered bronze sleeve bearings?
A strong steel housing allows these bearings to handle higher speeds than standard oil-embedded mounted sleeve bearings. Powdered bronze is pressed and then impregnated with SAE 30 oil to make this material self- lubricating.
What is the maximum length for a bronze plate?
The maximum length for plate is 12″ long. These lengths are the standard throughout the industry. These sintered bronze bars and plates are ideal for short production runs. If you require approximately 1,000 or more parts, in most cases, it is more economical to produce the parts by the same forming process rather than machine from bar.
What types of bronze products does anchor offer?
Anchor Bronze offers oil impregnated sintered bronze bearings, cored bars, solid bars, and plates. Our sintered bronze products conform to ASTM recommended dimensions and tolerances.
