Bronze bushings for Hydroelectric
According to the hydropower station, the use of natural water flow and regulation capacity can be divided into two categories.
- Run-of-River Hydropower Station: no reservoir or very small reservoir capacity, no or very little regulation of natural water flow.
- Storage Type Hydropower Station: reservoirs with a certain capacity, with different regulating abilities for natural water flow.
- Our aluminum bronze sealing rings are professionally used in pumped storage hydropower stations, with material CuAl10Fe3, high strength, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance.
- We have the ability to produce products φ 1.5m-6m, the only manufacturer you can find for super large-size bronze bushings!

Use our sealing rings to run hydroelectric plants better!
We have a wide range of products for the hydropower industry. Making Jedbushing your amazing seal ring supplier, here are some of our best-selling items.
The Best Quality. Our sealing brass rings allow you to be satisfied after running one hydroelectric unit and immediately turn on another hydroelectric unit.
Stay Away From Maintenance. The components of a hydropower unit have strict requirements, and as seals, our only requirement is a tight fit and no leaks.
One-time Casting. Only products that have been successfully cast in a single pour qualify as hydropower plant seals, and we do not accept any cracks.
Easy to Install. We make them strictly according to the drawings to meet the requirements without causing trouble for a big project like a hydropower plant.
Long Service Life. Unlike other copper sleeves for different applications, copper rings for hydropower plants need to be sealed and do not require harsh wear resistance, so they all have a long service life.
Trusted Materials. the material ratio is reported, so there will be no situation that the hydro unit will stop operation due to breakage.
Let Jedbushing be your bronze casting supplier. If you’re looking for sealing rings or slip rings, our products are the key. With our products, opening a hydroelectric project has never been easier.
Estimated wholesale price
Payments made to Jedbushing products are secure, and the following is a summary of the costs you will incur.
Sample Product Fee
In case you need a bronze sample, pay the material amount and shipping costs. But our proposal is changed to a free test report.
Shipping Fee
This is the amount you will pay for shipping the product from the factory to your doorstep. Jedbushing provides you with any kind of convenience.
Mould Fee
We have several hundred sets of 60mm-5m bushing molds. But this is not always suitable for new products, so if the size doesn’t match, you need to make a new mold.
40% T/T & 60% Final Fee
You can decide to either pay the full amount or pay 40% of the full payment for the wholesale. Complete your payment within a certain period and receive the products you ordered for.
Estimated manufacturing and shipping times
We work quickly. With more and more customers approaching us, we have no other choice but to prioritize speed. Let’s take a look at the entire process of manufacturing and shipping.
1. Design and casting time
Feed inspection, smelting, casting, and sample retention, this is the beginning of all bronze castings.
2. Precision machining
Rough turning first, then finish turning according to the drawing. We finish them in a 24-hour constant temperature and humidity environment.
3. Inspection and testing time for all products
A series of inspection processes such as material analysis, UT, PT, hardness, spectral analysis, burr, CMM, etc.
4. Sea and land transportation time
Once the products arrive at their destination, you will receive an alert. You can plan how to collect your shipped goods.
Is It Good As Other Bearing? Things you Need to Know
To save you from worries, here are some facts you need to know about our bushing:
Is it hard to cast large size sealing copper rings?
It is really difficult, and we have gone through hundreds of debugging and experiments to conclude the successful experience. At present, the one-time casting success rate of 1.5m to 3.5m diameter is 100%, and the success rate of 3.5m to 5m is 85%.
Are your bushings a complete replacement for bearings?
Yes, they can. For different industries and site environments, we produce products with different hardness, strength, corrosion and wear resistance characteristics. We also have bimetallic bearings to save cost and ensure quality at the same time.
How long does it take to produce?
Sealing rings for the hydropower industry are very special because of their large size and are basically not in stock. The typical time from material to delivery is 15-60 working days.
How do you do quality inspection for such a large product?
We have inspection process: raw materials, smelting formula, spectral test, CMM dimensional inspection, PT/UT inspection, factory inspection. You can control every step.
Service Products
We have a large selection of plain bearings for various applications. With us you can order your products according to your own drawings and specifications or you can choose from our large and wide standard selection. In addition, our short lead times and good logistics makes us an efficient and reliable partner.
Aluminum bronze bearings have high hardness, high strength, corrosion resistance and high wear resistance, and are often used in bearings, valves, turbines, nuts and other parts; aluminum bronze also has a unique ability to prevent seawater breeding, and is often made by the shipbuilding industry. propeller.
C95400(ZCuAl10Fe3) cast copper alloy has high mechanical properties, good wear resistance and corrosion resistance, can be welded, not easy to braze, and large castings can be prevented from becoming brittle by air cooling at 700 °C. C95400(ZCuAl10Fe3) cast copper alloy is used for important castings that require high strength, wear resistance and corrosion resistance, such as bushings, nuts, worm gears and pipe fittings that work below 250 °C.

C95500(ZcuAl10Ni5Fe5) has high strength and good wear resistance. It is used for high-strength screws, nuts, copper sleeves, sealing rings, etc., and wear-resistant parts. The most prominent feature is its good wear resistance.
Because aluminum bronze containing iron and manganese has high strength and wear resistance, it can increase the hardness after quenching and tempering, and has good high temperature corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance. Corrosion resistance in the atmosphere, fresh water and sea water very good
