BB-16 Bearings
BB-16 Bearings
BB-16 bearings are self-lubricating powdered metal bearing typically used for heavily loaded applications. This bearing material has excellent compressive strength, wearability and is shock resistant. This bearing is heat treated to a spec of HRB 70 min. and oil impregnated with an extreme pressure oil.
BB-16 Bearings from National Bronze Mfg are commonly used in applications requiring a reliable bronze bearing. Applications include Off-road Equipment, Backhoes, Graders, Earth Moving Equipment, Escalators, Automotive, Railroad applications, and other heavily loaded applications.
Additional capabilities include secondary operations such as grooving, milling, and broaching. Send us a drawing or sample. Generally, we'll have a price back to you within 24 hours.
