The RG5 bronze bearing, also known as leaded gunmetal (CuSn5Pb5Zn5), is a unique alloy with exceptional mechanical properties that make it a highly suitable material for bearings and other mechanical components. Its composition, which includes copper, tin, lead, and zinc, results in a material that offers both strength and wear resistance.
The lead content in RG5 bronze provides lubrication, reducing friction and wear, while the copper and tin contribute to its strength and corrosion resistance. This combination of properties makes RG5 bronze bearings particularly suitable for applications that require high loads, speeds, or both.
The alloy's castability and machinability allow for the production of bearings with precise dimensions and shapes, ensuring a secure and reliable fit in various mechanical systems. RG5 bronze bearings can also be easily modified or repaired, further extending their lifespan and reducing maintenance costs.
In summary, RG5 bronze bearings, or leaded gunmetal (CuSn5Pb5Zn5), are a high-performance material choice for industrial applications that demand durability, strength, and smooth operation. Their unique properties make them a reliable solution for bearings and other critical mechanical components.

Tin bronze Bearings self lubrication bushings are one of our most requested for their hardness, machinability and resistance. They are also known as red bronze bushings or leaded gunmetal solid bearing. We offer a wide range of tin bronze sliding bearing that fulfil the most demanding international standards.
Bronze bearing with graphite is a maintenance-heavy bushing, oil or
grease lubrication is necessary.
VIIPLUS designs lubrication grooves to reduce maintenance to a
minimum.
