Partnering with Custom Parts means collaborating with a team committed to precision, detail, and timely delivery. We closely engage with clients to understand their needs and deliver components that meet or exceed expectations. Our quality commitment ensures reliable performance of your custom bronze parts. Oil or lubrication groove systems and increased clearance between the shaft and bushing will minimize maintenance.
Custom Parts Alloys
Bearing bronze alloys, aluminum bronze alloys, tin bronze alloys, manganese bronze alloys, brass alloys, and copper alloys are all types of metal materials that are commonly used in various industrial applications, especially for bearings and other components that require high strength, durability, and resistance to wear and corrosion. Here’s a brief overview of each:
Bearing Bronze Alloys: These are a class of bronze alloys specifically designed for bearing applications due to their excellent wear resistance, good lubrication properties, and high fatigue strength. They are often used in applications where there is a need for low friction and high load-bearing capacity.
Aluminum Bronze Alloys: These alloys are known for their high strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and good conductivity. They are often used in marine environments, chemical processing, and for high-strength fasteners.
Tin Bronze Alloys: Tin bronzes are characterized by their high strength, corrosion resistance, and good casting properties. They are commonly used in marine applications, decorative items, and for components that require good wear resistance.
Manganese Bronze Alloys: Manganese bronzes are known for their high strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and good machinability. They are often used in heavy-duty marine applications and for high-strength components that require resistance to wear and corrosion.
Brass Alloys: Brass is an alloy primarily composed of copper and zinc. It is valued for its acoustic properties, corrosion resistance, and ease of machining. Brass alloys are used in musical instruments, valves, and decorative items.
Copper Alloys: Copper alloys are a broad category that includes not only brass but also other types of alloys such as cupronickel and silicon bronze. Copper alloys are known for their high thermal and electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, and formability.
Each of these alloys has specific properties that make them suitable for different applications. The choice of alloy depends on the requirements of the application, such as the need for strength, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, or specific mechanical properties.
Custom Part Features
Custom parts are designed and manufactured to meet specific requirements of an application, ensuring optimal performance and functionality. Here are some features commonly found in custom parts, particularly in the context of bearings and related components:
Graphite Plugged Bronze Bushings: These are bushings made from bronze with graphite plugs. The graphite provides a self-lubricating feature, which is beneficial in applications where lubrication is difficult or infrequent.
Oil/Grease Grooves: Custom parts may include grooves specifically designed to hold and distribute oil or grease. This ensures that the bearing surfaces are adequately lubricated to reduce friction and wear.
Flanges: Flanges are extended surfaces on the part that provide a larger area for mounting or attaching other components. They can be custom designed to fit specific applications and provide a secure and stable connection.
Wear Plates: These are additional components that can be added to protect the main bearing surfaces from excessive wear. They are often made from wear-resistant materials and can be replaced when worn out, extending the life of the main component.
Graphite Plugs: Similar to graphite plugged bronze bushings, graphite plugs can be used in various custom parts to provide self-lubrication and reduce the need for external lubrication systems.
Thrust Washers: These are washers designed to handle axial loads in a bearing assembly. They can be custom made to fit specific dimensions and load requirements, ensuring proper load distribution and preventing damage to the bearing.
Large Diameter Bearings: Custom parts may include large diameter bearings that are designed to support heavy loads and operate in environments where standard bearings may not suffice. These bearings are often tailored to the specific load, speed, and environmental conditions of the application.
When designing custom parts, engineers consider various factors such as material selection, dimensional accuracy, tolerances, surface finishes, and compatibility with the existing system. The goal is to create a part that not only meets the specific functional requirements but also integrates seamlessly with the rest of the system for optimal performance and longevity.
