SAE 660 / W7 Bearing Bronze
SAE 660 (C93200) Bronze: The Global Bearing & Bushing Standard. High-leaded tin bronze for superior emergency lubrication and wear life.
SAE 660 / W7 Bearing Bronze
SAE 660 is the most widely recognized bearing bronze in the world. It provides a perfect balance of hardness, strength, and "embeddability"—the ability to swallow foreign particles (like grit) without scoring the mating shaft. It is the "workhorse" for continuous-service mechanical assemblies.
