Self lubricating bronze bushings

Our BG series is our range of self-lubricating bronze bushings. They are used in applications where the bushing is required to continually operate in hard to reach or inaccessible areas where it is difficult to apply manual lubrication.Get more news about oil lubricated guide bush,you can vist our website!
They are also used in a range of applications where it is not possible or desirable to use oil or grease as a lubricant. The bushings are totally maintenance free, offer a long service life and decrease maintenance time required by bushings requiring external lubrication.

Graphite Plug Bushings
The bronze bushing is manufactured with machined holes and/or grooves into which graphite is inserted. These graphite plugs act as the lubricant between the shaft and the bearing. The graphite inserts provide a slippery coating that acts as an ongoing, reliable lubrication between the surfaces.

This type of bushing is often referred to in the market as SelfLube, plugged graphite, graphited or simply self-lubricating.
To manufacture our bronze bushings Mecauto collaborates closely with clients so that the bushings we supply always exceed the quality required, are on time and within the established budgets.

For over thirty years bronze bushings manufactured in Mecauto have provided high levels of reliability and performance in our clients’ machinery across a range of sectors including valves, pumps, lifting, power transmission and public works. We work with leading manufacturers worldwide.
All Mecauto’s bushings are manufactured in bronze to our clients’ designs with the highest level of precision to ensure we meet exacting tolerances and specifications. The objective is to achieve the smallest coefficient of friction possible according to the working conditions, such as load, velocity, type of movement, environment, temperature and so on…

Bronze is the ideal material for the manufacture of bushings due to its excellent friction resistance in applications of heavy loads at low speeds. It is hard, corrosion resistant, and operates well at high temperatures.

Mecauto was created by the leading European continuous and centrifugal cast bronze foundry – Wisco. As such we offer the most complete range of bronze alloys in Europe and have over 1.500 tons in stock with immediate availability. The in-house production offers substantial benefits with regards to the quality, uniformity and traceability of the bronze bushings we manufacture.

The most common bronzes used in the manufacture of bushings are aluminium bronzes, tin bronzes and high tensile brasses. From Wisco’s wide range of alloys, we have selected some of the most appropriate due to their technical characteristics:
