OIL-IMPREGNATED SINTERED BRONZE BUSHES
The SELFOIL® Self-Lubricating Sintered Bearings are porous metallic components made of bronze or iron, impregnated with a lubricant oil.
The oil contained in the porosity provides a constant lubrication between bearing and shaft, so the system does not need any additional external lubricants.
APPLICATIONS AND MATERIAL PROPERTIES
Self-Lubricating Sintered Bearings are used in a wide range of applications, the most common being:
Automotive equipment: starters, electric windows, pedals, wipers, fuel systems, cooling systems, Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR), brakes, transmission, mirrors, sunroof, seating systems, etc.
