Grade

• MTEK 943 (C94300) Tin bronze

Description

• Bearing alloy with the ability to operate at high speeds and light loads under adverse lubrication conditions.

Properties – Why select this material

• Where deformation due to bad fit of components is an issue. Good conformability.
• It has fair strength and wear resistance, but excellent anti-frictional properties.
• It can be used for light to moderate loads at high speeds, but it lacks the compressive strength to withstand heavy shock loads and pounding.

Applications – Frequent uses

• Bearing liners requiring local deformation due to bad fit.
• Underwater service
• Water lubricated bearings
• Locomotive bearing parts
• Rod bushings
• Hydraulic pump bushings
