Oiles #2000 (bronze + solid lubricant)
Oiles #2000 (bronze + solid lubricant) is part of the Oiles range of multi-material self-lubricating / maintenance-free plain bearings — metal-polymer composites, oil-impregnated and solid-lubricant-embedded metals (bronze/steel), special engineering resins, and self-lubricating slide/wear plates for structural and die applications. The closest match to Bushingo BP25 sintered bronze in load class, but built as a solid-lubricant-embedded cast bronze for heavier, hotter, low-speed duty rather than an oil-impregnated sintered bush. Where BP25 reaches its temperature or shock-load limit, #2000 is the natural step-up cross-reference; it also competes directly with graphite-plugged bronze ranges (e.g. Oilless-type, deva.bm / bronze-graphite plates). Quote against BP25 enquiries that specify high temperature, shock loading, or oscillating heavy loads.
Specification
| Brand | Oiles |
|---|---|
| Series | Oiles #2000 (bronze + solid lubricant) |
| Material | Cast/wrought bronze base with graphite or other solid-lubricant plugs embedded in the sliding surface (solid-lubricant-embedded bronze). Combines high bronze load capacity with self-lubricating solid-lubricant coverage. |
| Forms | cylindrical bush, flanged bush, thrust washer / plate, slide plate, custom machined bearing |
| Typical size range | Solid-lubricant bronze bearings are typically supplied in medium-to-large heavy-section sizes, with bores commonly from tens of millimetres up to several hundred millimetres for structural and heavy-machine use. General ranges only; confirmed per RFQ. |
Key features
- Very high load capacity for heavy and shock-loaded duty
- Maintenance-free self-lubrication via embedded solid-lubricant inserts
- Suited to low speed, high load, and oscillating motion
- Performs at elevated temperatures where oils would fail
- Robust bronze base tolerant of contamination and misalignment
Typical applications
- Continuous-casting and steel-mill equipment
- Construction machinery pins and pivots (booms, buckets)
- Injection-moulding and press machinery
- Turntables, structural and civil bearings
- Heavy material-handling and lifting equipment
