Oilless thrust washer incorporate high quality copper alloy based metals with engineered solid lubricant plugs. These bearing thrust washers are designed to accommodate a wide variety of application requirements demanded by today’s equipment. Precise tolerances utilizing strategic plug location and plug compounds ensure performance delivery and lubrication free service. This thrust washer bearing style is available in standard inch, metric and made to order sizes. It provide extreme temperature limits and high load capacity performance.

The design nowadays requires tremendous demands for self-lubricating bearing material. Even in extremely severe work conditions and maximum load conditions, it also requires maintenance-free. With the cost of increasing, business equipment reliability and plant operation are also increasing. Metal thrust washer bearings to meet the long-term maintenance-free and under the conditions of self-lubricating, thus making the design of reliable long-term self-lubricating system possible. Metallic thrust washer bearing material can be widely used in high load at low-speed rotation conditions, swing and linear reciprocating motion, but also applies to the position where traditional lubrication can not be achieved or the occasion greasing is prohibited, or in special conditions such as dust, shock under load or radiation conditions require long-term and stable use.

A cast bronze thrust washer is a type of bearing component made by casting bronze into a specific shape. The casting process involves heating the bronze to its melting point and then pouring it into a mold to form the desired shape. Once the bronze has solidified, the washer is removed from the mold and may undergo additional machining or finishing processes to meet the specific specifications of the application.

Cast bronze thrust washers are known for their good strength and durability, making them ideal for use in high-load, high-stress applications. They are also resistant to corrosion, making them suitable for use in harsh environments.

Cast bronze thrust washers are commonly used in a variety of applications, including automotive transmissions, pumps, and heavy machinery. They are often used to support rotating shafts and provide a low-friction surface for moving parts to bear against, helping to reduce wear and increase the overall efficiency of the system.

Self-lubricating thrust washers work by releasing a solid lubricant during operation. The solid lubricant is embedded in the matrix of the thrust washer and is released through a process called micro-smearing. Micro-smearing occurs when the lubricant particles are sheared off the surface of the thrust washer during operation. The sheared-off particles then form a lubricating film between the bearing surfaces, reducing friction and wear.

As a common component in mechanical systems, bearing 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 components, reduce component movement and wear, and improve system stability.
