Bronze Thrust Washer

Description

When the traditional gasket is in use, the corrosive liquid at the sealing port will cause corrosion to the gasket, thereby affecting the sealing performance, and the gasket body is directly in contact with the sealing port, which is more likely to cause corrosion to the gasket and affect the performance of the gasket. The problem of service life, the VIIPLUS bronze thrust washer body is provided with positioning holes, and the gasket body is also provided with a plurality of installation through holes. Corrosion resistance improves service life.

Bronze Thrust Washer Features

• More suitable for heavy load and low-speed working conditions, with good wear resistance and very low friction coefficient
• Suitable for reciprocating, rotating, and intermittent motion where oil film is difficult to form
• With corrosion resistance and aging resistance
• The temperature range of -40℃ to 300℃
• Compared with rolling bearings, thin thickness, space-saving, suitable for complex situations

Types of Bronze Thrust Washers

1. Lead Bronze

Lead bronze thrust washers are made with a combination of copper, lead, and tin. They provide excellent wear resistance and good load-carrying capacity. They are ideal for applications with high loads and moderate speeds.

2. Aluminum Bronze

Aluminum bronze thrust washers are known for their high strength and excellent wear resistance. They are ideal for applications with high loads, high speeds, and harsh operating conditions.

3. Tin Bronze

Tin bronze thrust washers are made with a combination of copper and tin. They are known for their high strength and good wear resistance. They are ideal for applications with moderate loads and speeds.

4. Bimetal Thrust Washers

Bimetal thrust washers consist of two different metals bonded together. One of the metals is usually bronze, which provides wear resistance and load-carrying capacity. The other metal provides additional benefits, such as increased strength or corrosion resistance.

How to Choose the Right Bronze Thrust Washers

When selecting Bronze Thrust Washers, it is important to consider the size and type of application for which they will be used.
It is also important to choose a washer that is made from high-quality materials and is designed to withstand the specific conditions of the application.
