FB094 Bronze Wrapped Bearing: Lead-free, High Load Capacity, Self-lubricating

FB094 Bronze Wrapped Bearing: Lead-free, High Load Capacity, Self-lubricating

The FB094 Bronze Wrapped Bearing represents a high-performance solution for demanding industrial applications requiring durable, maintenance-free, and environmentally compliant components. Engineered with a special bronze alloy and a unique diamond lubrication pocket pattern, this bearing offers exceptional wear resistance and superior load-carrying capabilities.

Key Features

• Lead-free Composition: Adheres to strict environmental regulations, making it a sustainable choice for industries like food and beverage machinery and medical equipment. This addresses growing concerns for a lead-free bronze bushing solution and RoHS compliant bearings.
• High Load Capacity: Designed to withstand significant static and dynamic loads, our bearings are ideal for heavy-duty applications. The optimized pocket design retains lubricant, ensuring consistent performance under extreme pressure and preventing premature wear. This is a critical factor for engineers searching for high load capacity bronze bearings.
• Self-lubricating & Maintenance-free: The integrated lubrication pockets filled with grease or oil ensure the bearing operates effectively without frequent re-lubrication. This feature significantly reduces maintenance costs and downtime, a key benefit for operations aiming to lower bearing maintenance costs.
• Excellent Wear Resistance: The robust bronze alloy provides superior resistance to wear and abrasion, extending the service life of the bearing even in harsh, dusty, or high-vibration environments.

Application Areas

The robust design and high performance of the FB094 bearing make it a preferred choice for a wide range of industrial applications, including:

• Agricultural Machinery: Suitable for pivots, linkages, and axles where high loads and exposure to dirt and debris are common.
• Construction Equipment: Used in excavators, loaders, and cranes for boom pivots and hydraulic cylinder mounts.
• Automotive Industry: Applied in pedal systems, hinges, and chassis components.
• Material Handling: Ideal for conveyor rollers and lift truck mast bearings, providing reliable performance in continuous operation.
• Renewable Energy: Employed in wind turbine pitch and yaw systems and solar tracker mechanisms where durability and minimal maintenance are crucial.

Common Procurement Questions

1. How does the FB094 lead-free bronze bearing compare to conventional oil-impregnated sintered bearings?

While both are self-lubricating, the FB094 wrapped bronze bearing offers a significantly higher load capacity and superior wear resistance due to its solid bronze structure. Sintered bearings are porous and can have lower strength, making them less suitable for high-load applications. Our product is designed for more demanding, heavy-duty environments, providing a longer service life and greater reliability.

2. Is the self-lubricating feature of the FB094 bearing reliable in dusty or corrosive environments?

Yes, the self-lubricating design of the FB094 is highly reliable. The diamond-shaped pockets retain a controlled amount of lubricant, which is protected by the surrounding bronze material. This design minimizes the risk of dust ingress and debris contamination, which are common failure points for many bearing types. The solid bronze body also provides excellent corrosion resistance. For extreme environments, we recommend a customized solution with a specialized lubricant or a protective seal. Our engineers can analyze your specific operating conditions to recommend the optimal solution.
