Bronze Slide Graphite Plates serves two significant functions:
1.Friction Reduction: Bronze, being a material with excellent sliding properties, significantly reduces friction between the moving parts of the bridge. This minimization of friction prevents excessive wear and tear, thus extending the lifespan of the bearings and, by extension, the bridge.
2.Self-Lubricating: The graphite in Bronze Slide Graphite Plates provides self-lubricating properties. This eliminates the need for constant manual lubrication, further reducing maintenance costs and time. When under load, the graphite will gradually release lubricating particles, ensuring smooth movement and further reducing friction.
These bronze-graphite composites are designed to withstand the enormous loads and harsh environmental conditions typical for bridges. They demonstrate excellent load carrying capacity, good wear resistance, and outstanding weathering resistance.
