Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard brass instead of a lubricating grade.Always specify and use a brass alloy specifically formulated for lubricating properties, such as leaded brass or phosphor bronze, to achieve the desired low friction and wear resistance.
Improperly cleaning the substrate before installation.Thoroughly degrease and decontaminate the mating surfaces to ensure optimal adhesion and prevent premature wear due to contaminants.

Common Applications

  • Bearings and Bushings
  • Wear Plates and Strips
  • Slide Guides and Ways

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid sharp edges after cutting.
  • Ensure compatibility with mating materials to prevent galvanic corrosion.
