2 Sinterube Introduction Sinterube - The No Maintenance, Self-ubricating Bushing After years of research and manufacturing process development, Technology proudly announces its latest and most dramatic contribution to our industry the Sinterube Alloy Bushing. This revolutionary product requires no lubrication during production, yet it maintains its initial geometry and undergoes negligible wear, even after millions of press cycles. Sinterube delivers what no other bushing can:. Sinterube doesn t merely claim to be self-lubricating, it truly is self-lubricating, and it doesn t abrade or close in on the guide pin like ordinary graphite plug bushings.. Sinterube has a tolerance comparable to precision guiding as opposed to the liberal tolerance of ordinary graphite plug bushings.. Unlike the competition, with Sinterube, there s virtually no wear, even in the toughest applications. Simply put, Sinterube outperforms the competition. Try Sinterube for yourself and discover why this revolutionary bushing should become the standard for your tooling. The Secret of Sinterube WEAR TEMPERATURE () Comparison ife Tests (Bushings Run Simultaneously in Test ixture) Measurement of Wear THUSANDS CYCES Measurement of Heat THUSANDS CYCES Bronze with Graphite Plugs Sinterube TM Bushing Bronze with Graphite Plugs Sinterube TM Bushing Sinterube Bushings wear less and run cooler than ordinary graphite plug bushings. ur key breakthrough in developing the product was the discovery of an alloy material having good sliding lubricity and hardness, which we then added to the bronze powder of our sintered bushings. Properly combined, the dispersed particles of the alloy remain disconnected to the bronze micro structure when sintered, providing lubricity and hardness without harming the mechanical properties of the bronze. This results in a wear resistant micro structure which outperformed every competitor s bushing we tested. The graph (left) compares the performance of a coercially available bronze bushing with graphite plugs to our Sinterube Bushing. We life tested both bushings at the same time; they were mounted in a split punch holder and forced apart by a gas spring so that the lateral force on each bushing was identical. We gave the Sinterube Bushing a single application of lubricant at the start of the test and no lubricant thereafter. nce the press had cycled over. million strokes we stopped the test and examined the bushing. Many of the graphite plugs of the competitor s bushing had extruded, and the inside diameter had grown by.0. The guide pillar literally rattled in the bushing hole. The inside diameter of the Sinterube Bushing was smooth and had grown only.00. As you can see from the graph, the Sinterube Bushing ran about cooler than the graphite plug bushing throughout the test, showing better lubricity.

3 Index But There s More: eatures In addition to its attractive silver exterior and polished bronze interior, the Sinterube Alloy Bushing has the following distinguishing characteristics: There is no lubrication hole or oil groove, reflecting the fact that Sinterube Bushings are designed to operate with only a single initial application of lubricant. The steel substrate is unhardened. Wear resistant alloy materials are contained in the bronze mixture; in effect the wear hardness is embedded in the bronze. A color code identifies the size of the inside diameter. By matching this color with the appropriately color coded pin, a close, standard, or loose running fit can be selected. The bronze layer is - times thicker than that of a plated bronze bushing, so there is no risk of wearing through to the steel substrate. Even under the most severe wear conditions the Sinterube Alloy Bushing maintains its lubricated bearing surface. Benefits - Reasons to Switch to Sinterube Here are a few of the advantages of Sinterube Alloy Bushings, which our testing has so far uncovered:. Graphite plug bushings operate at higher temperatures so they require larger running clearances. The minimum running clearance needed for a Sinterube Bushing is two to three times smaller, so close tolerance stamping work can now be performed with lubrication free bushings.. Sinterube Bushings resist wear, so guiding accuracy is maintained throughout the production run.. Standard Sinterube Bushing clearances make die set disassembly and reassembly much easier than with loose fitting graphite plug bushings, which allow the punch holder to cock and jam. 4. An initial application is all that s required to operate Sinterube Bushings successfully, but if additional lubrication is applied during the production run, no harm is done. By contrast, lubrication of a graphite plug bushing results in a sticky mess, making it hard to disengage the bushing from the guide pin.. Due to the rapid wear rate of graphite plug bushings many stampers replace the bushings at each die regrind. This is a needless expense which Sinterube bushings eliminate.. We have not yet discovered the maximum speed at which Sinterube Bushings can run, but press speeds of 0 strokes per minute at stroke are well within its performance range. Many high speed tools requiring ball bearing guiding can now be fitted with Sinterube Bushings and benefit from the greater rigidity as well as the lower cost of solid guiding.. According to our tests, bronze plated bushings operate well so long as they are lubricated every shift. Sinterube Bushings do not require that nagging maintenance chore. Regular lubrication no longer needs to be policed on your stamping line.. At high operating temperatures graphite plugs become dislodged as the bonding glue melts. Sinterube Bushings do not contain any glue and are entirely suitable for hot stamping or high temperature mold applications.. Sinterube Alloy Bushings require less machining to produce, so they cost less than graphite plug bushings.. Sinterube Alloy Bushings are interchangeable with our sintered bronze bushings, so you can easily test our assertions for yourself and install a set of Sinterube Bushings during your tool s next scheduled maintenance.

18 Method of Use A Closer ook Sinterube Method of Use or best results, we recoend that you apply an initial coat of lubricant to the inside diameter of each Sinterube bushing before starting production. Ideally, the lubricant should be a high viscosity oil of the type available from Ready and its distributors: quart catalog no. -4- gallon catalog no. -- Held in place by the many pores that make up the Sinterube bushing s sintered surface, the oil helps ease the operating severity as the guide pins and bushings seat themselves. nce initial wear-in is complete, the anti-friction particles embedded in the bronze matrix take over, and maintain proper operating conditions.
