Hello :

Does anybody know the effect of high temperature application (80-90 C)OF BRONZE ALLOY C93800 used as bushing material ?

Note ; A synthetic lubricant will be used to keep the temperature range under control.

Presuming bearing loads are acceptable for this application, we have bronze bearings for some of our large FD fans that have not been a problem. The bearing housings contain an oil reservoir and are air cooled. Operating temperatures can be as high as 175 deg F, and I have seen no problems in service.
