Graphite Wear pads are specially formulated solid lubricating materials inlaid on a copper substrate, with the high electrical and thermal conductivity of copper and the self-lubricating properties of graphite, with high load-bearing capacity, impact resistance, high-temperature resistance, and self-lubricating ability. bronzeoilless.com offers various types of bronze wear pads, from unfinished cast bronze plates to fully finished mechanical components.

Wear pads material is divided into brass wear pad and bronze wear pad

1. Brass wear pad is a copper alloy with zinc as the main alloying bushing. According to the chemical composition, brass is divided into two types: ordinary brass and special brass: Ordinary brass wear pad is a copper-zinc binary alloy bushing, also known as casting brass bushing. A special brass wear pad is formed by adding aluminum, silicon, manganese, lead, tin, and other elements to the copper-zinc alloy to obtain higher strength, corrosion resistance, and good casting performance.
2. Bronze wear pad refers to copper-tin alloy bushing, but the industry is used to call copper alloys containing aluminum, silicon, lead, beryllium, manganese, etc. also bronze, so bronze wear pad actually includes tin bronze, aluminum bronze, beryllium bronze, silicon bronze, lead bronze, etc. Bronze is also divided into two categories: pressure-processed bronze wear pad and cast bronze wear pad.

Bronze wear pads can sell well in the market, mainly because the product has more magical performance, to meet the application of more industrial machinery and equipment, in enhancing the use of machinery and equipment performance, enhance the efficiency of the work has made outstanding contributions. Here the more prominent performance is the following points.

1, strong corrosion resistance so that the product can work better in a harsh environment.
2, very strong pressure resistance, so the product can work under strong conforming conditions.
3, wear resistance, the use of more outstanding performance, and longer service life.
Let the construction machinery run fast while reducing the use of various raw materials and enhancing the efficiency of work. So for large machinery, heavy machinery, and construction machinery such as complex equipment, the bronze wear pad of bronzeoilless.com should be selected.

To improve the performance of the bronze wear pad, reasonable adjustment is very important. When assembling or mounting, if the internal clearance of a graphite bronze wear pad is too large or too small, or in some cases, the preload is too high, early damage and shortened bearing life may result. In addition to causing downtime and costly repairs, improper assembly and mounting of wear pads may have additional negative effects, such as affecting the operation of other parts and shortening their service life. Assembly, installation, and regular maintenance by the equipment manufacturer’s instruction manual is the best way to prevent problems from arising.

L typed wear pad consists of highly wear-resistance copper cast alloy whose sliding surfaces are evenly provided with a certain percentage of solid lubricant plugs according to work condition, high-strength copper alloy provides a high load-bearing capacity and the solid lubricant can be formation of low friction film.

Under technical dry running conditions, the bearing surface is designed with thick running-in film which
enables the solid lubricant to be transferred to the counter material at the first contact.
