Tungsten carbide bushing and sleeve
XYMJ designs and manufactures precision engineered tungsten carbide bushings and sleeves specifically catered for pumps, valves, compressors, as well as drilling equipment serving the oil & gas industry, mining sector, chemical processing plants, and marine industries among others.
These items and the respective solutions provided excelled at performing reliably under such rigorous conditions hence ensuring long-lasting performance and enduring reliability for the equipment used.
Our bushings not only act as an interface but also serve to protect your machines, reducing friction and mechanical wear thus greatly extending the operational lifespan even in intense environments where abrasion-resistant materials sustain damage with ease.
What are Tungsten Carbide Bushings and Sleeves?
Tungsten carbide bushing or sleeve is a high-strength, wear-resistant component used to support, guide, or protect rotating and moving parts in mechanical systems. Made from sintered tungsten carbide, a material renowned for its exceptional hardness and corrosion resistance, these bushings serve as critical barriers between moving shafts and surrounding housings.
They are commonly used in high-stress environments such as pumps, valves, compressors, and drilling equipment where they help reduce friction, extend equipment life, and maintain system performance under extreme pressure, heat, or chemical exposure.
Advantages of Carbide Bushing and Sleeve
- Durability: Tungsten carbide is known for its high hardness, making wear-resistant sleeves highly resistant to wear and extending the life of your equipment.
- Cost Effectiveness: While the initial investment may be higher than traditional materials, the extended service life and reduced downtime result in significant cost savings over time.
- Corrosion Resistant: The chemical composition of tungsten carbide allows it to withstand the corrosive environments commonly found in oil fields, thereby reducing the need for maintenance.
- Improved Performance: By minimizing equipment wear, tungsten carbide wear-resistant sleeves make sure that the performance levels are maintained at optimal levels, enhancing efficiency.
- Custom Made: These bushings can be customized to specific equipment and operating requirements, providing flexibility for a variety of applications.
