COMPONENT GUIDE

Bearing segment / block

Local loaded bearing contact specified in a copper-alloy drawing.

Provides the defined contact block or curved bearing surface within a support.

Manufacturing & delivery form
Near-shape block casting with agreed contact-surface machining.

This guide covers the bearing contact segment, not every external bearing housing.

Material candidates

UNS C95400 Aluminium bronze

Candidate for drawing-defined loaded sliding and wear components.

Review mating material, lubrication and supply condition. C95400 and C95800 are distinct grades.

UNS C93200 Leaded tin bronze

Candidate for lubricated bushings, bearings and thrust interfaces.

Contains lead. Confirm load, speed, shaft condition and lubrication; no dry-running capability is implied.

Confirm the drawing, actual duty, material standard and manufacturing condition. Material substitutions require customer approval, and supply scope is agreed after component review.

Component RFQ requirements

Contact profile: Flat or curved profile, contact area, thickness and mounting.
Mating surface: Counterface material, shaft condition and required surface finish.
Support load: Load direction, movement and contact distribution.
Lubrication: Lubricant, grooves, temperature and contamination.
Material & acceptance: Specified alloy and standard, supply condition, drawing revision, quantity, inspection criteria and required records.
Supply form: Near-shape block casting with agreed contact-surface machining.

Start with your drawing, specified alloy and quantity. Include the required delivery condition and acceptance records so the manufacturing and inspection scope can be reviewed.

UNS C86300 Manganese brass / manganese bronze

Candidate for specified heavily loaded sliding parts and nut blanks.

A high-strength brass family, not tin bronze. Confirm the counterface and lubrication; no universal wear-life claim applies.

UNS C93200 Leaded tin bronze

Candidate for lubricated bushings, bearings and thrust interfaces.

Contains lead. Confirm load, speed, shaft condition and lubrication; no dry-running capability is implied.

Confirm the drawing, actual duty, material standard and manufacturing condition. Material substitutions require customer approval, and supply scope is agreed after component review.

Component RFQ requirements

Pivot geometry: Bore, outside diameter, length, shoulders and housing fit.
Pin surface: Pin material, hardness, finish and installed clearance.
Oscillation & shock: Load, impact, angular travel and operating cycle.
Protection & lubricant: Lubrication path, seals, dust exposure and temperature.
Material & acceptance: Specified alloy and standard, supply condition, drawing revision, quantity, inspection criteria and required records.
Supply form: Sleeve casting blank with agreed machining; process route requires review.

Start with your drawing, specified alloy and quantity. Include the required delivery condition and acceptance records so the manufacturing and inspection scope can be reviewed.
