Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a standard brass alloy instead of a lubricating grade.Specify and procure a brass alloy specifically designed for lubricating properties to ensure reduced friction and enhanced wear resistance.
Inadequate surface preparation of mating components.Thoroughly clean and deburr all mating surfaces to prevent premature wear and ensure smooth operation.

Common Applications

  • Journal bearings
  • Bushings and sleeves
  • Wear plates and guides

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with appropriate personal protective equipment to avoid cuts and abrasions.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when machining to dissipate fumes.
