Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard brass instead of a specific lubricating alloy.Verify the material specification to ensure it's a brass alloy formulated for lubricating properties, offering the lowest coefficient of friction.
Improper surface preparation of mating components.Thoroughly clean and de-grease both the brass stock sheet component and the mating surface to prevent premature wear or binding.

Common Applications

  • Self-lubricating bearings
  • Slide plates and guides
  • Wear strips for conveyor systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid abrasive cleaning methods that can damage the lubricating surface.
  • Ensure compatibility with surrounding materials to prevent galvanic corrosion.
