High Tensile Brass, Wear rings, Large valve stems

High tensile Brass is referred to Manganese Bronze.

Despite to high tensile strength, the alloys fatigue resistance can only be rated as moderate. This high tensile brass can operate under very high loads and moderately high speed. However they require hardened well aligned shafts and reliable lubricant. These bearings are used in low critical applications.

Max Operating Temperature 180℃
