Detailed Engineering Specifications

Built to exacting engineering tolerances, this lubricating brass stock sheet measures 0.681 inches thick, 43 inches in length, and 37 inches in width. Composed of a specific brass alloy known for its inherent low coefficient of friction and excellent machinability, it minimizes wear and heat generation in sliding contact applications. The material's inherent lubricity reduces the need for external lubricants, making it ideal for environments where contamination is a concern or maintenance is limited. This sheet is engineered for demanding industrial uses requiring reliable, low-friction performance and corrosion resistance.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard brass instead of a lubricating grade for friction-sensitive components.Always specify and procure brass stock sheets explicitly designated for lubricating applications to ensure proper performance.
Improper cutting which can lead to burrs and affect the smooth operation of mating parts.Utilize sharp, appropriate cutting tools and deburring techniques to ensure clean edges and prevent operational issues.

Common Applications

  • Bearing surfaces
  • Wear plates
  • Slide components
  • Bushings
  • Gears

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid scratches or damage that could compromise lubricating properties.
  • Ensure compatibility with mating materials to prevent galvanic corrosion or excessive wear.
