Tin-phosphor bronze bushings, due to their outstanding resistance to rust and moisture, are the preferred material for hydraulic equipment bushings and cooling tower sliders. The reasons are as follows:
Excellent Rust and Moisture Resistance: The phosphorus in tin-phosphor bronze forms a stable compound with copper, effectively resisting oxidation and corrosion in humid environments, making them less susceptible to rust and corrosion. They can withstand prolonged exposure to freshwater, seawater, or the humid water vapor of cooling towers, which is common in hydraulic equipment, significantly slowing the progression of corrosion and extending their service life.
Excellent Wear Resistance: Bushings for hydraulic equipment and cooling tower sliders are subject to constant friction. Tin-phosphor bronze materials like CAC902 offer excellent wear resistance and can withstand significant frictional wear. This reduces dimensional change caused by excessive wear, preventing abnormal clearance expansion that can lead to vibration, noise, and even mechanical failure.
Self-lubricating: Tin-phosphor bronze bushings maintain excellent sliding performance without frequent lubrication and maintenance. They are self-aligning, insensitive to deflection, and capable of simultaneously supporting radial loads. Humidity can easily cause lubricant effectiveness to deteriorate or even dissipate. Its self-lubricating advantages are even more pronounced in such environments, reducing the likelihood of component damage due to lubrication issues and reducing downtime for lubrication and maintenance.
Excellent mechanical strength and toughness: Its suitable strength, hardness, and good toughness withstand shock loads such as water flow and pressure fluctuations during operation of hydraulic equipment. It is also less susceptible to cracking or sudden breakage during the vibrations caused by cooling tower fan startup and shutdown, ensuring stable and reliable equipment operation and reducing unplanned downtime for maintenance.
Easy to process and mold: Its excellent machinability and casting properties make it easy to manufacture to the complex shapes and dimensional precision requirements of hydraulic equipment shaft sleeves, cooling tower sliders, and other applications. This meets diverse design requirements while ensuring the dimensional accuracy of bushings and achieving tight fit.
