Bronze Sleeve Bearings: The Powerhouse of Industrial Machinery

As a leading manufacturer of bronze sleeve bearings, we understand the critical role they play in various industrial applications. Our commitment to quality and innovation ensures that our bearings deliver exceptional performance and reliability.

Basic Concepts of Bronze Sleeve Bearings

Bronze sleeve bearings are cylindrical components that support rotating shafts and reduce friction. They are typically made of bronze alloys, offering a combination of strength, wear resistance, and lubricity. The bearings' inner surface is precisely machined to fit the shaft, while the outer surface provides a smooth sliding surface for the bearing housing.
