As a commonly used component in mechanical systems, Bronze thrust washers are widely used in reciprocating rotary motion occasions in aerospace, automobiles, ships, and other fields. Its main function is to locate and avoid direct contact between parts, reduce the movement and wear of parts, and improve the stability of the system.

The wear resistance metal back with the solid lubricants can continuously provide a lubricating source during the washer operation to achieve the self-lubricating feature. This kind of washer can be applied under dry, high temperature, high pressure, corrosive, water, or other chemical environments when no oil can be introduced.

A bronze thrust washer is a material or combination of materials that is clamped between two separate joints (mainly flanges) and serves to maintain a seal between the two joints for predetermined service life.

The bronze thrust washer must be able to seal the joint surface and ensure that the sealing medium is impermeable and non-corrosive and able to withstand the effects of temperature and pressure.

A bronze thrust washer with graphite plugs provides both good wear resistance and a great self-lubricating feature of this washer.

This designation enables the thrust washer to be operated without oiling or greasing maintenance.
It is widely used in the field of high load and intermittent movement as well as oscillating movement conditions.

Thrust your machines towards optimal performance with Bronze Thrust Washer Bearings – essential components that ensure smooth and efficient motion between moving parts. These bearings not only reduce friction and wear but also have the power to prolong the life of your machines. However, not all bearings are created equal – selecting the right type is crucial as each is designed to handle specific types of loads based on their application.

Enter the world of self-lubricating thrust washers, widely applied in a range of industries such as casting machines, injection molding machines for plastics, automotive dies, the irrigation industry, bridge engineering, mineral machines, ships, turbogenerators, machine hands, and even oil platforms on the sea. Experience the versatility of a variety of different alloys available from VIIPLUS, tailor-made to suit different working conditions.

1. Sinter Thrust Washer： Our SAE 841 Sintered Bronze thrust washer. They are rigid, temperature-resistant, and high-strength parts formed through the process of sintering, or powder metallurgy. Powder metallurgy uses a number of different metals including aluminum, copper, nickel, brass, steel, stainless steel, nickel, and titanium in the fabrication of powdered metal parts.
   Powdered metal parts have a proven record of unexcelled wear resistance and long life. They hold closer tolerances and can be made self-lubricating through oil impregnation. Because of smoother action and self-dampening features, powder metal assures a quiet operation.
2. Plugged Graphite Bronze Thrust Washer: graphite bronze thrust washer, A wear-resistant metal back with solid lubricants that can continuously provide a lubricating source during the washer operation to achieve the self-lubricating feature. This kind of washer can be applied under dry, high temperature, high pressure,corrosive, water or other chemical environments when no oil can be introduced.
