White metal linings and graphite-insert bushings

We supply spherical bearings, whole or in two halves, in large and standard sizes, fitted on turbines, centrifugal and reciprocating compressors and gearboxes, with bimetallic and trimetallic linings (steel/cast iron/bronze + pink metal + white metal) with a thick layer of anti-friction metal, up to 12 mm of finished lining.

We also design and supply bronze sliding bushings with self-lubricating graphite inserts, for applications with high mechanical loads where fluid lubricants cannot be used.
