Oilite Solid Bar – Oilite Bar Stock for Self-Lubricating Bearings High-quality Oilite solid bars are widely used in the production of self-lubricating bushings and bearings. At BEP Ltd, we supply premium Oilite bar stock designed for machining into durable Oilite bearings and custom bronze components. These porous bronze bars are oil-impregnated during manufacturing, allowing them to provide continuous lubrication during operation without the need for external greasing. What Is an Oilite Bar? This Oilite bar is a solid sintered bronze rod with little pores filled with lubricating oil. As the bearing runs, heat and movement draw oil to its surface, automatically lubricating the shaft. The self-lubricating property makes Oilite bearing material suitable for applications where normal lubrication is hard or impossible.
