A Universal Product

BOMOR Industrial Supplies are sole marketers of this range of top quality oil impregnated
bronze products which have become one of industry's most essential tools
Although first used in the motor industry, these products are now used universally
 
Heavy Duty Oil
The heavy-duty oil cushioned bearing developed in the late twenties achieved notable success on
cars and has now been mass produced for general industry
 
Powered Metal Bearings
Powdered metal bearing materials covering a wide spectrum from low-speed highload applications to moderate load very high speed applications are available
Advantages & Applications
Oil Impregnated Bronze products serve all industry in effecting cost reduction and improving performance.
Apart from the motor industry many applications have emerged in industries such as mining, food, iron &
steel, paper, chemical, textiles, printing, bakeries, general engineering and manufacturing.
 
Advantages
1.   Permanent self lubrication in inaccessible areas. 
2.   Food, canning or textile industries where lubrication is required without product contamination.
3.   It Has long life characteristics. 
4.   High resistance properties.
5.   No maintenance.
6.   Oil is retained indefinitely. 
7.   Product has been proved over many years.
 

Capillary Action

During manufacture the bar stock is
vacuum impregnated with oil to a level
of some 18 % (by volume)
The oil is supplied to the shaft through
thousands of interconnected,
oil-impregnated pores.  
Due to capillary action present in the  
material, the shaft wet with oil, 
whether in motion or not. 
An immediate oil  wedge is always  
present when the shaft is in motion,  
assuring proper lubrication at all times.

         Machining

In machining Oil impregnated bronze
it should be remembered that the 
cutting tool must be sharp. For this 
reason tungsten carbide tooling is 
recommended as it holds cutting edge
much longer.  
This preserves the openpore from 
which oil can flow freely. A dull tool   
will smear the pores, greatly lessening   
the self lubricating qualities in the material.
After final machining it is advisable to
immerse the bearing in oil, thus 
allowing the bearing to re-absorb 
the oil lost in the machining process.
  
  
  
  
  
 
  
  
  
 
 
Important !
NOTE !

  After machining Oil Impregnated Bronze must be

 Special Bushes and Bearings can be machined by us
  immersed in SAE 100 oil for a minimum of 12 hours
 to suit your requirements. Standard bearings are
  to ensure full volume replacement.
