JX-FB Bronze Flange Bushing

Flange: This is the projecting rim or edge on the bushing that provides the aforementioned additional support or positioning.
Bushing Material: This term refers to the material from which the bushing is made. In this case, as mentioned above, the bushing is made from a brass alloy.
Solid Lubricant Embedded (Graphite): This indicates that the bushing contains graphite, a solid lubricant, embedded within its material. Graphite is often used for its excellent lubricating properties, which can reduce friction and wear, extending the life of both the bushing and the parts with which it interacts.    

Flange Bearings: A flange bearing, often referred to as a flange bushing or flange bearing, is a bronze-sintered bushing with oil impregnation. It is characterized by a flange that plays a critical role in supporting loads while allowing for the smooth movement of the mating shaft within the bearing. This unique design sets it apart from traditional cylindrical sleeve bearings and makes it a preferred choice in a wide range of applications.
Application Considerations
When using flange bearings, it's essential to consider several factors to ensure optimal performance:
Load Capacity: Evaluate the specific load requirements of your application - how much weight will the axial load force onto the application? This will influence the size of your bearing.
Speed: At what speed will the shaft move within the bearing? This is important to evaluate to ensure the bearing will withstand that motion.
Shaft Material: Consider the shaft material and how that will interact with the bronze bearing. The bearing is designed to fail first, so the shaft should typically be made from a harder material.
Environmental Conditions: Think about the environment of the application. Will it be exposed to natural corrosive elements like weather sun damage or dirt and debris? Will it be exposed to chemical contaminants? This will help you plan for the application's lifespan and replacement schedule.    

Benefits: There are several key benefits of incorporating flanged bearings into your applications:
Smooth Shaft Movement: The bearing allows the shaft to slide smoothly and freely within its aligned position.
Size Variety: Available in both metric and inch sizes, flange bearings accommodate a wide range of applications.
Low Maintenance: Because the bearing is impregnated with oil, it requires significantly less maintenance than other shaft-supportive fasteners.Load Distribution: The flange serves as a load-bearing surface for other components, ensuring efficient load distribution and minimizing wear.
Reduced Friction: The oil-impregnated design of flanged bearings reduces friction and elongates the lifespan of both the bearing and the mating components.
What is the Difference Between a Flange Bearing and a Plain Bearing?
Flange bearings feature a unique flange design that provides a load-bearing surface for axial loads, making them ideal for applications where load distribution is critical. Plain bearings - or sleeve bearings - lack the axial load-bearing capability but are ideal for bearing radial loads.
