Detailed Engineering Specifications

Purpose-built for heavy-duty applications, this brass stock sheet (0.284" thickness, 37" length, 20" width) leverages the inherent self-lubricating properties of brass alloys. The material offers excellent wear resistance, low coefficient of friction, and good corrosion resistance, making it ideal for components subject to continuous motion and load. Its machinability allows for precise fabrication of bearings, bushings, wear plates, and sliding surfaces within industrial machinery, particularly in environments where traditional lubrication methods are challenging or prone to failure. The dimensional accuracy ensures seamless integration into existing systems.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard brass alloys not optimized for lubrication.Select brass alloys specifically formulated for low friction and wear resistance for lubricating applications.
Inaccurate machining leading to poor contact and premature wear.Employ precise machining techniques and quality control to ensure tight tolerances and optimal surface finish.

Common Applications

  • Self-lubricating bearings
  • Bushings and sleeve bearings
  • Wear plates in sliding mechanisms
  • Guide rails for linear motion
  • Components in pumps and valves

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure proper ventilation during machining to avoid inhalation of brass dust.
  • Handle with care to prevent scratches or damage to the surface, which could affect lubricating properties.
