Bronze Crowns

Wear-resistant copper-based alloy components for industrial equipment

Bronze crowns are components widely used in industrial machinery that require high strength, wear resistance, anti-friction properties, compressive strength, and corrosion resistance. They are designed to handle heavy loads while keeping friction and wear to a minimum, even in demanding or corrosive environments. Bronze crowns are generally used in gearboxes, turbines, and heavy-duty transmission systems, and can be customized to match the equipment’s size and performance needs. Each crown is made with high-grade alloys such as C83600, C63000, C90700, C91700, and C90500, ensuring durability, stability, and consistent operation over time.

Features

Excellent wear resistance and self-lubricating properties

Tin bronze has a naturally low friction coefficient when paired with steel or other metals, helping reduce wear and extend service life.
Its structure allows small particles or metal fragments to embed slightly without scratching the surface, which is ideal for dusty or abrasive conditions.
Bronze crowns can operate smoothly even without external lubrication, making them reliable for low-speed, intermittent, or hard-to-maintain equipment.

Outstanding corrosion resistance

Bronze remains stable when exposed to seawater, humidity, or mild acids, so it performs well in marine, outdoor, and chemical environments.
It also shows strong resistance to rust and oxidation after long exposure to air, which is why it’s often used in restoration work and antique-style machinery.

Applications

Bronze crowns have been used for centuries and remain as important components in modern machinery because of their strength, wear resistance, and corrosion protection. They are used in various industries:

Industrial equipment: Commonly used in mining, metallurgy, and chemical machinery, bronze crowns serve as wear-resistant parts such as gears, bushings, and worm wheels that operate under heavy loads and friction.
Marine and power generation: In ships, bronze crowns are used in propellers and gear assemblies to improve wear resistance and efficiency. In the power industry, they are applied in generator systems to enhance stability and ensure reliable performance.
Construction, aerospace, and defense: In construction, bronze crowns can be found in bridge components and high-rise railings; in aerospace, they’re used for landing gear parts; and in defense equipment, they serve in the transmission systems of tanks and armored vehicles.

Applications of Copper Alloy Wear-Resistant Parts

As a trading company dealing in construction machinery components, it is important to know whether the products meet recognized international standards. Do bronze bearings comply with ISO or DIN requirements?

Yes. Bronze bearings are made following ISO and DIN standards for materials, precision, and surface finish. They can be used with equipment that is manufactured under international requirements, ensuring consistent performance across different applications.

As a distributor of copper alloy components for different industries, customers often request customized bronze nuts and sliding bearings. Can production be carried out based on provided drawings?

Bronze nuts, sliding bearings and other wear parts can be manufactured according to customer drawings and specifications. Each wear part will be manufactured with micron-level precision to match specific design or size requirements in different industries.

In excavators and loaders that experience frequent impact, can bronze bearings be made in a reinforced, thick-wall design to improve durability?

Reinforced bronze bearings can be produced with thick-wall construction to handle repeated shock loads. Through the use of composite materials, strengthened structures, and optimized processing, these bearings offer higher impact resistance and longer service life. Custom designs are also available to meet specific equipment requirements.

For railway bogies that require special bronze bushings, can inspection reports be issued in line with railway industry standards?

Inspection and testing reports can be issued according to railway industry standards. All reports follow ISO9001 and CNAS certification requirements to guarantee accuracy and reliability.

High-pressure air compressors require bearings with good pressure resistance and low friction. Can bronze bearings with solid lubricants be supplied for such applications?

Bronze bearings with solid lubricants can be provided for high-pressure compressor systems. Using a composite design that combines a copper alloy base with embedded lubricating materials, these bearings offer high wear resistance, self-lubricating performance, and reliable operation under extreme conditions with little or no maintenance.
