Properties:

Most commonly used bearing alloy, found in bearings operating at moderate loads and moderate-ta-high speeds, as in electric motors and appliances.

  • material for plain bearings in mechanical engineering with medium loads;
  • very good emergency running;
  • high wear resistance;

Application:

  • bearings of cranes and elevators;
  • minor machine tool bearings;
  • bearing for packing machines and electric motors;
  • general bearing in mechanical engineering;
  • valve and gate seat rings;
  • guide bushes in hydraulic cylinders;
  • slip rings.
