Applications
Proform develops a wide range of materials and forms for our bushings, bearings, and spacers. Our focus is on meeting the increasing demand for enhanced performance and complex geometries to deliver solutions that exceed your application needs.
Powdered metal self-lubricating bronze bushings are durable components used in mechanical applications. Crafted from a blend of powdered metals, primarily bronze, these bushings undergo a thermal process to bond particles and include built-in lubricating properties. Ideal for industries such as automotive, industrial, sports and recreation and off-highway applications. They eliminate the need for external lubrication systems, offering a low-maintenance solution for reliable and wear-resistant performance.
Sintered Iron-Copper Bearings comprised mainly of iron with 10-20% copper content, are manufactured through a process involving blending iron and copper powders, shaping the mixture, and sintering it. The iron matrix provides structural strength, while the copper content, in the form of powder or alloy, enhances wear resistance and self-lubricating properties. These bearings find wide applications in automotive, industrial machinery, and appliances, offering a durable and efficient solution with a balance of strength and superior tribological performance in challenging operating conditions.

Self Lubricating Bearings
Powdered metal bearings feature the ability to be made self-lubricating, thus adding an oil lubricant to the application. Through vacuum impregnation, bearings will absorb oil, the oil will release when heat is created through normal operation. As temperatures cool, the bearing will re-absorb the oil, retaining the lubrication for future uses.
SAE 30
SAE 30 lubricants meet viscosity requirement set by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). They have higher viscosity, ideal for applications needing thicker oils for adequate lubrication and protection. Commonly used in automotive engines, industrial machinery, and power equipment like lawn mowers and generators, particularly in moderate to high-temperature environments and normal operating conditions.
Custom Oils per customer specifications
Food Grade
We offer a specially formulate food grade lubricants meet rigorous regulations and standards for safe use in food processing. Designed to prevent contamination and ensure product safety, these lubricants are suitable for various applications in the food and beverage industry including food processing equipment, packaging machinery, and other food handling systems.
