Bronze Alloy Products
A Bronze Alloy Supplier that meets your Needs
Do you need a reliable supplier for bronze or bronze alloy bearings and component parts? A manufacturer that provides one-stop shopping can save you time and money?
Choosing the right supplier can:
- Help you select the best bearing material for your application
- Save valuable downtime
- Make you look great when the correct part shows up when promised
- Allow you to repair, instead of replace, valuable machinery because of hard to replace parts
Bronze bearings are often used in boundary-lubricated applications where some metal-to-metal contact occurs. Oil, grease, graphite and other lubricants mitigate wear and provide longer bearing life.The selection of the proper bearing material, however, is most important.
Leaded bronzes, such as C93200, C93600, C93700, and C94100, provide superior protection for the shaft and minimize power losses.
Aluminum bronzes, including C95400, C95500, and C95520 are known for their good wear characteristics and are used in oscillating load applications and severe environments.
Tin bronzes, notably C90300 and C90500, and manganese bronzes, such as C86300 provide high strength and are found in heavily loaded applications.
Zinc-aluminum alloys, ZA-12 and ZA-27, are sometimes used in low temperature environments as a replacement for bronze alloys. Wheeler supplies bearings for a wide range of bronze alloys and can select the one that is best for your needs.

Demanding applications
The automotive, pulp and paper, and appliance industries require bearings capable of maintaining their structural integrity while withstanding extreme temperature conditions.
When your application involves a crucial component that is difficult to access and lubricate or may be called to operate in a high temperature area, an oil-less graphite part may be the best way to tackle the problem. Graphite parts makes it easier to keep on top of maintenance and are designed for longevity.
Automobile and truck turbochargers maximize efficiency but only if their component parts, intercoolers, blow-off valves, boost controllers, are in top notch operating condition. Turbocharger bearings manufactured with SPC quality assurance guarantees that your order is precision machined to your exacting tolerances. Wheeler is expert at manufacturing parts that will be easy to install and with a precision fit to extend your equipment’s life span.
