General characteristics
Description The bronze bearing, with or without flange, is intended for radial and axial movements. The bearing is manufactured from cold-worked bronze alloy, which gives the bearing exceptional material characteristics. The flange design ensures that axial loading can be also supported.
The bearing is provided with lozenge-shaped lubrication indents, over all of the bearing surface. These act as lubrication reservoirs, which rapidly build up a lubricating film at start-up and thereby reduce the starting friction.
The WB material’s characteristics make this type of bearing especially suitable in constructions where relatively high loads and slow movements occur.
Lubrication Additional lubrication should be introduced through the shaft openings or radially via the housing. All the normal lubricating greases can be used. Lubricating grease with graphite or molybdenum disulphide additives can also be suitable.
Tolerance Bearings pressed in to a H7 housing give a tolerance of H9. The recommended shaft tolerance is IT7 or IT8, tolerance position e or f.
