Q: What is the best brass alloy for high-load oilless bearings?
A: For loads exceeding 100 N/mm², the industry standard is High-Tensile Brass (C86300 / CuZn25Al5). When embedded with solid graphite lubricants, it maintains a Friction Coefficient below 0.10, even in dry friction conditions, providing a Yield Strength of over 450 MPa.
Q: How does temperature affect the performance of self-lubricating brass bushings?
A: Our graphite-embedded brass components are designed for Thermal Stability. While standard lubricants fail at high temperatures, our solid lubricants function up to 300°C. The low Coefficient of Thermal Expansion of our C86300 alloy ensures that the Clearance Tolerance remains within ISO 286 standards.
Q: Why use Naval Brass (C46400) instead of standard Yellow Brass for marine parts?
A: Naval Brass contains tin (Sn), which significantly enhances its Corrosion Resistance against dezincification. It offers a superior balance of Yield Strength and ductility, making it ideal for pump shafts and hardware exposed to seawater, where standard C36000 would suffer from rapid structural degradation.
Q: What is the PV Limit for solid lubricant brass bearings?
A: The PV Limit (the product of Pressure and Velocity) for our high-strength brass bearings is typically 1.65 N/mm²·m/s for intermittent motion and up to 3.25 N/mm²·m/s with supplemental lubrication. This high PV rating allows for smaller component footprints in heavy machinery.
