Oilite Cored Bar

About

Oilite Cored Bar – Oilite Bearing Material for Precision Machining High-quality Oilite cored bar is widely used for manufacturing self-lubricating bushings and bearings. At BEP Ltd, we supply premium Oilite bar stock designed for machining into durable Oilite bearings, sleeves, and custom bronze components. Oilite materials are manufactured from sintered bronze and impregnated with oil, allowing them to deliver consistent lubrication during operation without the need for additional greasing. What Is an Oilite Cored Bar? An Oilite cored bar is a hollow cylindrical bar made from oil-impregnated sintered bronze. The internal bore reduces machining time and material waste when producing bushings or sleeve bearings. The porous structure of Oilite material stores lubricating oil within microscopic pores. During operation, friction and heat release small amounts of oil to the surface, providing continuous lubrication. This makes Oilite bearing material ideal for low-maintenance mechanical systems. Technical Specifications – Oilite Cored Bar Specification Details Product Type Oilite Cored Bar Material Oil-impregnated sintered bronze Structure Hollow (pre-cored centre) Lubrication Self-lubricating Machinability Suitable for turning, boring & finishing Applications Bearings, bushings, sleeves For available diameters and wall thickness options, please refer to product listings. Benefits of Oilite Cored Bar Feature Benefit Self-Lubricating Material No external lubrication required Hollow Core Design Reduced machining time Porous Bronze Structure Continuous oil release during use Low Friction Performance Smooth shaft operation High Wear Resistance Longer component lifespan Because the bar is already cored, engineers can quickly machine it into finished bearing components. Applications of Oilite Bearing Material Oilite cored bars are commonly machined into: Oilite sleeve bearings Bronze bushings Flanged bearings Custom bearing components Sliding mechanical parts They are wide
