Bronze bushings and slide bearings are widely used in forging and metal-forming machinery to support motion and handle high loads while reducing wear. Their performance depends on the alloy selection and design structure, which together determine reliability and maintenance needs. The most common types include:

• Made from tin bronze or aluminum bronze, these bushings provide excellent wear resistance, corrosion protection, and low friction. Their self-lubricating properties allow stable performance even when lubrication is limited.
• Each bushing is made as a single solid piece, either cast or precisely machined depending on its use. This structure gives the bushings lasting strength and keeps them aligned even after long hours of operation, while also helping reduce leakage or shape distortion.

• These bearings are made from strong copper alloys, typically high-strength brass (CuZn25Al5) or aluminum bronze (CuAl10Fe3). Solid lubricants such as graphite or PTFE are embedded into the surface, allowing the metal to carry the load while reducing friction.
• Graphite performs well under high temperatures up to 400 °C, while PTFE is more suitable for wet or water-lubricated environments, giving the bearing stable performance across different working conditions.
• During the forging equipment operation, the lubricant gradually spreads along the wear part contact surface, forming a thin and stable film that keeps movement smooth and minimizes wear, even in areas where regular lubrication isn’t possible.
