The Flange Bimetal Bushing CuPb10Sn10, also known as a friction welded bimetallic bearing, represents an innovative solution for applications requiring exceptional wear resistance and adaptability. This type of bushing combines the strengths of two distinct metals, typically copper-based alloys, to create a superior product tailored for specific performance needs.
The CuPb10Sn10 alloy, which forms the primary bearing surface of this bushing, is a lead-tin bronze renowned for its self-lubricating properties and high load-carrying capacity. The addition of lead and tin to the copper base enhances the alloy's machinability and reduces friction during operation, making it an ideal material for bearings subjected to heavy loads and high speeds.
The bimetallic construction of this bushing involves the fusion of two distinct metals through a process known as friction welding. This technique involves applying intense pressure and heat to the interface of the two metals, causing them to bond at the atomic level. This results in a strong, seamless connection that ensures the bushing's structural integrity and long-term performance.
The flange design of the bushing provides a secure mounting surface that facilitates easy installation and ensures a stable connection between the bearing and its housing. This design also allows for the bushing to distribute loads evenly across the mounting surface, reducing stress concentrations and increasing overall durability.
In summary, the Flange Bimetal Bushing CuPb10Sn10, utilizing friction welding technology, offers a high-performance, reliable solution for applications requiring superior wear resistance and adaptability. Its unique bimetallic construction and self-lubricating properties make it an ideal choice for bearings subjected to heavy loads, high speeds, and harsh operating conditions.
Metal and Bimetal Bearings - VIIPLUS Bearing Technology
Bimetal Bearing Technology, formerly equivalent Low Friction Bushing Metal-Polymer Bearings Bearings, now offers metallic bearing materials.
Fricition Welding Bimetal Bushing are widely used in oil lubrication situations. Normally in low speed and oil lubrication situations assemble with grease and work steadily with adding oil, such as suspension, ball joints, brake pedal seals, redirector , the connecting rod, the punch of the sliding part, etc.
VIIPLUS bearings can be made in many sizes and forms, including thin-walled, thick-walled, flanged, cylindrical, sintered and oil-impregnated, and more. Some popular bearing materials and their benefits include:
·STEEL BUSHINGS
·BIMETAL BEARING
·BRONZE BEARINGS
VIIPLUS offers a broad range of sizes, forms and materials in monometallic and bimetallic bearings. Bimetal and metal bearings offer excellent corrosion resistance in industrial outdoor applications and in water, marine and offshore environments.
Friction welded bimetallic bearing is an important part of construction machinery, which is formed by friction fusion welding of bimetallic rolling bearing and bimetallic gasket.The product USES copper alloy in the contact sliding part with the shaft, which can play a good role in lubricating and protecting the shaft and shaft shoulder. The back lining USES steel, which has a stronger bearing capacity and further reduces the material cost.
The product can bear both axial and radial loads when used, and is suitable for rotating, swinging and other occasions of medium, low speed and high load. It has been widely used in various construction machinery site parts, such as bulldozer, excavator, conveyor, etc., supporting wheel, guiding wheel and supporting sprocket wheel.

What is bimetal bearing?
Bimetal sliding bearings are made from bronze and steel alloy. The soft bronze inner layer can provide good lubricating performance with oil grease, hard steel back can provide good support on the whole bearing and cut down the cost.
These bearings are primarily used for bearing arrangements where heavy loads have to be supported and where rotational or oscillating movements are relatively slow.
Why choose bimetal bearing?
- ·Maintenance-free operation
- ·Minimum wall thickness, minimum space requirements
- ·Accommodation of heavy loads
- ·Wide range of temperatures
- ·Good sliding properties
- ·Virtually no stick-slip
- ·High wear resistance
- ·These bearing can applied with precision machining tooling
