VIIPLUS: Leading the Way in Custom Sliding Bearings & Sleeve Bushings for Demanding Industries
Innovation in Self-Lubrication, Precision Engineering, and Compliance-Driven Solutions

In industries where friction, heat, and contamination are constant challenges, sliding bearings and sleeve bushings play a pivotal role in ensuring operational efficiency. VIIPLUS, a premier Chinese manufacturer, has carved a niche in designing custom-engineered solutions that defy traditional limitations. This article explores their advanced technologies, material innovations, and diverse applications—supported by data-driven comparisons, charts, and real-world use cases.


VIIPLUS at a Glance: Customization Meets Precision

VIIPLUS specializes in high-performance sliding bearings, bushings, and tribological components. Key differentiators include:

  • Tailored dimensions: Imperial and metric sizes, bespoke geometries.

  • Self-lubricating technology: Eliminates grease dependency.

  • Compliance certifications: FDA, RoHS, and ISO standards.

  • Global logistics: Rapid prototyping and delivery.


Material Science: The Backbone of VIIPLUS Solutions

VIIPLUS leverages advanced bronze alloys and composite materials to address extreme operational demands.

1. Bronze Graphite Bushings (C86300/C86200)

  • Properties: High thermal conductivity, embedded solid lubricants (graphite), corrosion resistance.

  • Applications: High-stress environments where lubrication is impractical (e.g., remote machinery, food processing).

Table 1: VIIPLUS Material Comparison

Material Max Temp (°C) Load Capacity (MPa) Key Features Best For
C86300 Bronze 300 80 High fatigue resistance, FDA-compliant Food machinery, compressors
C86200 Bronze 250 70 Superior wear resistance, self-lubricating Hydraulic systems, marine
Graphite-Plugged 350 100 Extreme dry friction environments Steel mills, mining

Self-Lubrication vs. Traditional Bearings: A Data-Driven Contrast

Why VIIPLUS Outperforms Conventional Solutions

Parameter VIIPLUS Self-Lubricating Traditional Lubricated
Maintenance Frequency None Every 500–1,000 hours
Contamination Risk Zero High (oil leakage)
Lifespan (High Load) 20,000+ hours 8,000–12,000 hours
Operational Cost 40% Lower High (labor + lubricants)

Chart 1: Cost Savings Over 5 Years

Self-lubricating bearings reduce total ownership costs by 60% in high-maintenance environments.
