FCS-500

Long-Life, Low-Friction Bronze-Coated Bearings

The FCS-500 is an advanced oil-impregnated bearing material, characterized by its unique construction featuring a bronze coating applied to an iron powder surface. This innovative design significantly extends the bearing's operational lifespan. This is achieved through the meticulous use of finely processed raw material powder particles, which are engineered to enhance and prolong the oil retention period within the bearing's porous structure. A key advantage of FCS-500 is its high iron content, which inherently provides superior wear resistance, crucial for maintaining performance under continuous use. Simultaneously, the bronze-coated sliding surface is instrumental in ensuring exceptionally low friction and remarkably quiet operational characteristics, making it an ideal choice for noise-sensitive environments. This versatile material is specifically engineered for a range of demanding applications where reliability and efficiency are paramount. It is particularly well-suited for use in fan motors, where its quiet operation and extended life contribute to overall system performance and user satisfaction. Furthermore, its robust design makes it an excellent solution for high-load motors, where durability and the ability to withstand significant stress are critical requirements. From a technical specification standpoint, the FCS-500's main component is an Fe-Cu alloy. Its precise material composition includes a copper (Cu) content ranging from 15% to 25% by weight, and a tin (Sn) content of up to 5% by weight, with iron constituting the remainder. The material exhibits an impressive allowable PV value of 180 MPa·m/min, which is a crucial metric indicating its combined load-carrying capacity and speed capability. It is designed to operate effectively under a maximum surface pressure (Pmax) of 3.6 MPa and can sustain a maximum sliding velocity (Vmax) of 100 m/min. The density of the FCS-500 material is precisely controlled, falling within the range of 6.2 to 7.1 g/cm³. The provided recommended operating range graph visually illustrates the performance envelope, clearly demonstrating the inverse relationship between surface pressure and sliding velocity. This graphical representation guides engineers and designers in selecting appropriate operating parameters, ensuring optimal and safe performance across various application conditions. This comprehensive set of features and detailed technical specifications positions FCS-500 as a high-performance and reliable solution for a wide array of motor applications, promising enhanced durability and efficiency.
