Brixey feels that the company’s [bunting bearings] portfolio is now about 90 percent of the way to the place he’d like it to be. “It took 103 years to accomplish that first 90 percent of the journey, so the final 10 percent is more of a challenge. At the moment we’re looking at all the bearings offered by our various competitors so that we can offer our OEM and distribution customers a complete portfolio of products. I want to be in the position where we can take any bearing or bronze bar order from any customer anywhere and offer them complete service.”

Bunting Bearings offers a complete line of stock plain bearings, flange bearings and washers made of P/M bronze. Bunting sintered bronze stock bearings have long conformed to ASTM chemical and physical properties, and are the first to include all ASTM standard sizes to ASTM recommended dimensions and tolerances. After forming, sintering and sizing, the nachi bearings are vacuum impregnated with SAE 30 oil that provides lubricant which is metered from the bearing to the shaft during rotation. Standard off-the-shelf oil impregnated bronze bearings should function satisfactorily in temperatures ranging from 10°F to 220°F.

Bunting Bearings powdered metal sleeve (plain) bearing is formed and sized to SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) 841 specifications for supporting radial and axial loads. It has been sintered with powdered metals for strength, durability, and corrosion resistance, and it is vacuum-infused with SAE 30 oil, which remains in the pores of the bearing to provide lubricant from the bearing to the shaft during operation. This plain bearing has a maximum load value of 2,000 psi (pounds per square inch), a maximum velocity value of 1,200 sfpm (surface feet per minute), and a maximum load-at-velocity (PV) value of 50,000. It operates in temperatures ranging from 10 degrees F to 220 F (-12 degrees C to 104 C). Designed with a regular straight bore, this bearing fits to conventional cylindrical shafts. This oil-filled powdered metal sleeve (plain) bearing is for use in various applications such as heavy-lifting equipment, pumps, aircraft, and motors, among others.

Plain bearings (with no rolling elements) are used to handle radial or axial loads by providing a low-friction motion between two surfaces as shafts rotate or move back and forth through the center of the nsk bearing. The most common types are bushings (also called bush), with a sleeve or flanged design, and are measured by their bore (inside diameter), outside diameter, length, and width (thickness). Plain bearings are used in automobiles, construction equipment, medical applications, railroad cars, turbines, various military applications, aeronautics, space exploration, among others.
