Bearings

Tri-metal are the Most Common


The Various Layers of
Metal are Typically

Strength
Lead Overlay - Lubricity Under Poor Lube Oil
Conditions
Nickel Barrier - Prevents Migration of One
Bearing Metal into Another Tin
Copper Lining - Actual Lead
Bearing Material Nickel
Copper
Steel Backing

Sputter Bearings

Sputter Bearings Use the Same Metals as a Trimetal Bearing but are
Constructed Differently

Tin, Copper and Aluminum are Mixed and Atomized then Applied
to the Steel Backing by a Cathode
Process, in a Vacuum

The Result is a Bearing Surface


which Exhibits the Strength, Lubricity and Imbedability of all
the Metals Simultaneously

The Adhesion to the Steel Backing is Significantly Greater than the


Conventional Rolled Method
