MetalKeen manufactures custom bronze bushings for demanding industrial applications where high load capacity, wear resistance, and reliable sliding performance are essential.
Our bronze bushings are produced using premium copper alloys through centrifugal casting or forging, followed by precision CNC machining to achieve tight dimensional tolerances and excellent bearing performance. Depending on application requirements, bushings can be supplied with oil grooves, lubrication holes, graphite plugs, flanges, or custom geometries.
We manufacture bushings according to customer drawings or OEM specifications for paper machines, mining equipment, steel mills, hydraulic cylinders, construction machinery, marine equipment, gearboxes, and other heavy-duty rotating systems.
With complete material traceability, precision inspection, and global delivery capability, MetalKeen provides reliable OEM bronze bearing solutions for equipment manufacturers and maintenance service providers worldwide.
A bronze bushing (also called a bronze sleeve bearing or plain bearing) is a cylindrical sliding bearing installed between a rotating shaft and its housing to reduce friction, support heavy loads, and minimize wear.
Compared with rolling bearings, bronze bushings perform exceptionally well in applications involving shock loads, contaminated environments, low-speed operation, and heavy-duty machinery. Oil grooves or graphite inserts can further improve lubrication and service life.
MetalKeen bronze bushings are widely used in:
Paper Machines
Pulp Processing Equipment
Mining Machinery
Steel Mills
Hydraulic Cylinders
Construction Equipment
Marine Equipment
Agricultural Machinery
Industrial Gearboxes
Conveyor Systems
Wind Power Equipment
Cement Plants

A bronze bushing is a sliding bearing used to support rotating shafts, reduce friction, and withstand heavy loads. It is commonly used in industrial equipment where durability and wear resistance are critical.
Yes. We manufacture OEM bronze bushings according to customer drawings, CAD models, or samples, including customized dimensions, oil grooves, flanges, graphite inserts, and special bronze alloys.
Tin bronze is suitable for general engineering applications, aluminum bronze provides excellent strength and corrosion resistance, while graphite-filled bronze is ideal for self-lubricating applications. Material selection depends on load, speed, lubrication, and operating environment.
Our bronze bushings are widely used in paper manufacturing, mining, steel production, marine engineering, hydraulic systems, construction equipment, agricultural machinery, and heavy industrial applications.
