Copper-Based Bearing Alloys

Typical uses of  copper based bearing alloys include bearing bushings, valve stems, marine hardware and light duty gears

Aerospace, Ball & Roller Bearings

Automotive, Aerospace, Ball & Roller Bearings

•     A low coefficient of static and kinetic friction versus hard shaft material
  
•     Good wear behavior against steel journals (scoring resistance)
  
•     The ability to absorb and discard small contaminant particles (embed-ability)
  
•     The ability to adapt and adjust to the shaft roughness and misalignment (conformability)
  
•     High compressive strength
  
•     High fatigue strength
  
•     Corrosion resistance
  
•     Low shear strength (at the bearing-to shaft interface)
  
•     Structural uniformity
