Detailed Engineering Specifications

A proven choice for industrial professionals, this lubricating grade brass stock sheet boasts a precise thickness of 0.570 inches, with generous dimensions of 43 inches in length and 48 inches in width. The material's inherent low coefficient of friction, attributed to its specific alloy composition, makes it ideally suited for components subjected to continuous movement and high load bearing. This makes it an excellent candidate for bushings, bearings, wear plates, and sliding mechanisms where traditional lubrication may be impractical or prone to failure.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using general-purpose brass for high-wear applications.Always specify lubricating grade brass for components requiring self-lubricating properties to prevent premature wear and seizure.
Improper surface preparation before installation.Thoroughly clean both the brass component and its mating surface to eliminate contaminants that can impede smooth operation and cause damage.

Common Applications

  • Self-lubricating bushings and bearings
  • Wear plates and guides in automated machinery
