Designs and configurations
Graphite Bronze Bushings
Solid-lubricant plugs in a copper-alloy body support sliding applications where continuous lubrication is difficult. Suitability depends on load, speed and temperature.

Materials and treatment options
Bodies are often high-tensile brass, with aluminum bronze for higher load and phosphor bronze for wear and stability—graphite plug layout and alloy choice follow load, speed and temperature.

How they work
Graphite embedded in the copper matrix transfers to the mating surface during sliding, forming a solid lubrication film—suited to limited maintenance access, low-speed heavy loads and stable guidance.
