AST090 Wrapped Bronze Series - Metric
AST090 Series Structure
The AST090
Series Bushings are wrapped of a cold formable homogenous bronze (CuSn8), which
will obtain exceptional material properties. The standard sizes are fitted with
diamond shaped lubrication indents on the bearing surface. These indents serve as lubricant
reservoirs to rapidly build up a lubrication film in the startup movement and subsequently
reduce the startup friction. The
material is suitable for the construction and agriculture industries where high
load and slow movement are occurring.
