GGB-BP25 sintered bronze cylindrical bearings for maintenance-free operations

GGB-BP25 Cylindrical bushes

GGB-BP25 METAFRAM Oil Impregnated Sintered Bronze Bearings

CHARACTERISTICS

  • Similar to SINT A 50, impregnation group 1
  • Maintenance-free bearing for general engineering applications
  • Optimum performance under relatively light loads and high speeds
  • Produced by powder metallurgy process and therefore suitable for complex shapes

availability

Bearing forms available in standard dimensions
  • Plain cylindrical bushes
  • Plain flanged bushes
Bearing forms made to order: cylindrical bushes and flanged bushes with non-standard dimensions, spherical bearings, tubes and rod blanks, customized bearing designs

STRUCTURE AND COMPOSITION

GGB-BP25 METAFRAM Oil Impregnated Sintered Bronze Bearings and Bronze Sleeve Bushings

Similar to SINT A 50, Impregnation
Group 1

MICROSECTION

Sn         8 - 10,5 %
Other    < 2 %
Cu         Rest   
Impregnation group 1
(up to 80°C)

 

OPERATING PERFORMANCE
Dry Good (PTFE/MoS2)
Oil lubricated Good
Grease lubricated Fair
Water lubricated Not recommended
Process fluid lubricated Not recommended

Nothing changes except the name of the GGB bearing material: to better fight against counterfeiting, GGB has changed BP25 (also known as BP 25 or sinterbronze) into GGB-BP25.
