SINTERED IRON BUSHING 12X16X16

Graphite Sleeve Bearing – Sintered Iron Bushing 12×16×16

DALON’s 12×16×16 graphite sleeve bearing is a high-performance sintered iron bushing designed to deliver low-friction, long-lasting support in rotating machinery. Made using precision powder metallurgy and impregnated with graphite, it offers maintenance-free operation in applications where conventional lubrication is impractical.

With an inner diameter of 12 mm, outer diameter of 16 mm, and length of 16 mm, this sleeve-style bushing is ideal for use in electric motors, gearboxes, pumps, power tools, and agricultural machinery. Its compact form factor and solid lubricant content ensure smooth, quiet, and reliable operation—even under intermittent loads or moderate speeds.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is a graphite sleeve bearing used for?
It provides friction-reducing support for rotating shafts in tools, motors, and machinery where minimal maintenance is desired.

Q2: Can this bushing run without oil or grease?
Yes. The graphite content serves as a dry lubricant, enabling the bushing to perform well in dry-running or lightly loaded systems.

Q3: What are the main benefits of sintered iron bearings?
Sintered iron bushings are strong, wear-resistant, economical, and suitable for high-load applications compared to softer bronze types.

Q4: Is the 12×16×16 bushing size customizable?
Yes. DALON offers full OEM support to modify size, material properties, or develop new tools to meet your design and quantity requirements.

Q5: What is the expected lead time for production?
For custom designs including mold creation, lead time is around 35–40 days. For standard tooling, we can typically ship within 30 days.

Q6: What’s the MOQ for custom orders?
Minimum order quantities vary by size and complexity. Contact DALON for a quote based on your requirements.

Q7: Is graphite suitable for high-speed applications?
It performs best in moderate-speed, moderate-load environments. For high-speed systems, consult us for optimized material solutions.

Q8: Where are graphite sleeve bushings commonly used?
In electric fans, motor shafts, small engines, appliances, and garden equipment—anywhere where low-friction, self-lubricating motion is needed.
