Bunting SAE 863 Powdered Metal (Iron / Iron-Copper)
Bunting SAE 863 Powdered Metal (Iron / Iron-Copper) is part of the Bunting Bearings range of self-lubricating powdered-metal plain bearings (oil-impregnated sintered bronze and iron-copper) and solid cast-bronze plain bearings, plus self-lubricating nylon liner bearings. Closest to Bushingo FP20 (sintered iron) — the direct maintenance-free counterpart for economical iron-based sintered bushings. Where higher-performance sintered alloy is required, Bushingo SO16 is the step-up equivalent.
Specification
| Brand | Bunting Bearings |
|---|---|
| Series | Bunting SAE 863 Powdered Metal (Iron / Iron-Copper) |
| Material | Oil-impregnated sintered iron-copper powdered metal (iron-based grades such as SAE 863), self-lubricating like the bronze grades but with higher iron content for load capacity and lower cost. |
| Forms | Cylindrical (sleeve) bush, Flanged bush, Thrust washer |
| Typical size range | General knowledge: similar sintered-bushing range to the SAE 841 bronze grades — small millimetre bores up to the tens of millimetres, inch and metric. Confirm per part on RFQ. |
Key features
