Flanged Oilite Bush AMF030604
Oil impregnated sintered bronze, otherwise known as Oilite® is a porous bronze alloy impregnated with an oil lubricant and used as a bearing. Oilite® is formed using powder metallurgy so that tiny pores are present in the metal. The pores are then vacuum impregnated with an oil to improve the materials bearing ability. Oilite® bushes are particularly useful in confined areas due to their thin section as opposed to the conventional thicker anti friction bearings they are also suitable for use in application of high speed. Oilite® bushes are widely used in the auto industry, chemical industry, mini electrical parts as well as in home appliances, textile machines, electrical tools and office equipment due to their self lubricating properties, long life span and low maintenance requirements.
