Sintering is a manufacturing process during which powder is heated without melting it. Under the effect of the heat, the grains fuse together in a mould. The spaces between the fused grains are filled with oil. The final sintered bushing offers optimal sliding properties.
Techné produces two types of sintered bushings: The CFB sintered bronze bushing and the CFF sintered iron bushing. The two bushing types are self-lubricating. This means that they are mounted without additional lubricant and they do not need any maintenance.
CFB sintered bronze bushings
Structure of the CFB sintered bushings:
Porous structure made of sintered bronze with an excellent friction coefficient
Made from impregnated oil
CFF sintered iron bushings
Structure of the CFF sintered bushings:
Porous structure made from sintered iron
Made of impregnated mineral oil
