AMPCO® 18 as a Guide Bushing Against Steel St52-3
Suitability Assessment for Low-Speed, Low-Pressure Axial Applications
For axial guide bushing applications involving slow movement and low pressure, AMPCO® 18 is a suitable choice even when paired with steel St52-3, despite the relatively similar hardness levels of the two materials. Under these specific operating conditions, the combination is considered acceptable and AMPCO® 18 will perform adequately in this role.
