Increased iron content makes these bearings stronger and more resistant to shock loads than standard oil-embedded bearings; however they operate at lower speeds.

The oil in these bearings is suitable for incidental contact with food.

These bearings come with a traceable lot number and material test report. They are also known as Oilite® bearings.

Graphite provides a layer of dry lubrication that operates in high-temperature environments.

The addition of iron and aluminum gives these aluminum-bronze bearings high strength and excellent corrosion resistance—making them suitable for use in marine and mining applications.
