Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect grade of brass for specific load requirements.Consult material datasheets to select a brass alloy with appropriate load-bearing and wear resistance properties for the intended application.
Insufficient lubrication during initial run-in period.Apply a suitable lubricant during the initial start-up phase to ensure proper mating of surfaces and to prevent premature wear.

Common Applications

  • Self-lubricating bushings
  • Wear plates and pads
  • Journal bearings

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid nicks and scratches which can affect surface finish.
  • Ensure compatibility with mating materials to prevent galvanic corrosion.
