Dear all,

I've a problem about material used for bearings. My company manufactures pulleys for handling of loads. Until now we used a brass type UNS C35600 but we had some problems of quick wear-and-tear and problem of seize up.
In my past job I used a bronze UNS C92500 and I think it should work better!

Anyway, my experience with this kind of materials is limited so any suggestion would be very appreciated.

Thank you very much in advance!
