Comprehending Oilless Bronze Washer With Solid Lubricant
Oilless Bronze Washer With Solid Lubricant, as implied by the name, are a variety of washers that do not depend on conventional lubricants such as oil. Instead, they incorporate solid lubricants, which play a crucial role in their operational efficiency. Typically composed of a robust bronze alloy chosen for its durability and resistance to wear, these washers represent a unique solution in the realm of friction management.
Bronzeoilless.com offers oilless bronze washers with solid lubricant bearings designed for applications with high loads and low speeds. Crafted from rotationally cast high-strength bronze and featuring a specially integrated graphite plug as a lubricant, these bearings demonstrate advanced engineering to meet specific performance needs.
Our assortment of oilless washers is available in both metric and imperial sizes. Additionally, our in-house machining service can accommodate the production of non-standard sizes tailored to meet the distinct requirements of our customers.

When to Use Solid Lubricants and Their Advantages
Variety of Solid Lubricant Materials:
Solid lubricants come in various materials, each with its unique properties. Commonly used materials include molybdenum disulfide, graphite, tungsten disulfide, boron nitride, lead oxide, lead, tin, silver, and fluorinated polymers like FEP and PFA.
Considerations for Material Selection:
Choosing the right solid lubricant involves considering factors such as friction coefficient, load-carrying capacity, corrosion resistance (especially sensitivity to galvanic corrosion), and conductivity. Additionally, the application environment, including temperature, pressure, humidity, oxygen content, and radiation, must be taken into account. No single formula can meet all requirements, making a careful balance necessary.
Molybdenum Disulfide: Molybdenum disulfide exhibits high load-carrying capacity and a relatively low friction coefficient. However, it starts to decompose in oxidative environments exceeding 400 degrees Celsius.
Graphite: Graphite excels in high-temperature conditions in an oxidizing environment, but it tends to promote galvanic corrosion and is ineffective in high-vacuum environments. Graphite performs exceptionally well in moist conditions, where humidity is crucial for its effective lubrication due to its laminar structure.
Fluorinated Polymers: Fluorinated polymers, such as PTFE, typically show low friction coefficients and are aesthetically suitable for formulations with colored pigments. However, they may not sustain high loads and lack good radiation stability.
Applications of Solid Lubricants:
Solid lubricant materials are primarily used as extreme pressure (EP) or anti-wear additives. There are three main application routes:
Lubricating Grease Formulation: Commonly used for molybdenum disulfide and graphite, these materials, with their lamellar particle structure, facilitate easier sliding at the motion interface, reducing friction. This is particularly useful for lubricating pins and bushings.
Oil Additives: Molybdenum and PTFE are often used as anti-wear additives in engine oils or other lubricants. The effectiveness of suspended solid lubricants in oil is debated, but evidence suggests they contribute to reduced friction.
Surface Bonding or Impregnation: Successful applications involve combining or impregnating friction-improving agents onto the surfaces of various equipment components, such as cylinder liners and piston skirts in large stationary natural gas engines. The bonded solid lubricant forms a sacrificial wear protection layer, combating friction.
