What Is The Function of Tungsten Carbide Bushings?

Tungsten carbide bushings are mainly used in mechanical equipment, especially under harsh working conditions such as high load, high wear and high temperature. It is usually made of hard alloy materials such as tungsten alloy or cobalt alloy, featuring extremely high wear resistance, corrosion resistance and good thermal stability. 

The main functions of Tungsten carbide bushings include:

1. Protecting the shaft and bearings:

Tungsten carbide shaft sleeves are installed on the shaft, playing a role in protecting the shaft surface from friction, wear and corrosion, and extending the service life of mechanical equipment.

2. Reduce friction and wear: 

Due to the extremely high hardness and wear resistance of tungsten carbide, it can effectively reduce friction and wear, ensuring the long-term stable operation of mechanical parts.

3. Enhance load-bearing capacity: 

tungsten carbide bushings typically bear significant loads, thus enhancing the load-bearing capacity of mechanical systems and ensuring the normal operation of equipment under high loads.

4. Enhancing the operational efficiency of equipment: 

The high wear resistance of cemented carbide can reduce the downtime for maintenance caused by wear and tear, thereby improving the operational efficiency of the equipment.

5. Enhance high-temperature resistance:

Tungsten carbide bushings have excellent thermal stability and can maintain their performance in high-temperature environments, making them suitable for high-temperature working conditions in industries such as metallurgy and mining machinery.

6. Reduce maintenance costs: Due to the high durability of hard alloy materials, equipment using hard alloy bushings requires less maintenance frequency during long-term operation, thereby reducing maintenance costs and downtime.

In conclusion, tungsten carbide bushings can significantly enhance the performance and lifespan of mechanical equipment in applications that require wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and the ability to withstand high pressure and temperature.
