When a standard off-the-shelf bushing or sleeve just doesn't fit your project, machinists, fabricators, and serious DIYers reach for raw bronze brass round tube stock they can cut and finish to exact spec. Whether you're replacing a worn bearing sleeve, fabricating a custom spacer, or building a fluid-handling assembly, having the right OD-to-ID ratio in a machinable alloy saves hours of rework.
Each piece is a single bronze brass round tube, 100mm (≈3.94 inches) in length, available in outer diameters from 25mm (≈0.98 inches) to 80mm (≈3.15 inches) and inner diameters from 15mm (≈0.59 inches) to 60mm (≈2.36 inches). With 45 OD × ID combinations to choose from, you can dial in the exact wall thickness your application demands — from a thin-wall 5mm sleeve to a heavy-wall 30mm+ bushing blank.
Typical use cases include lathe-turned bushing blanks for machinery repair, bronze sleeve bearings for low-speed rotating shafts, custom spacers and standoffs in marine or outdoor hardware, and decorative hollow bar stock for architectural metalwork and furniture fabrication.
| Material | Bronze / Brass alloy (copper-based) |

| Length | 100mm (≈3.94") — fixed for all variants |
| Wall Thickness | Varies by variant — calculated as (OD − ID) ÷ 2; see variant options |
| Available Size Combinations | 45 OD × ID variants (see variant selector) |
| Finish | Mill finish (uncoated, natural alloy surface) |
| Machinability | Excellent — compatible with lathe, mill, drill press, and hand tools |
| Corrosion Resistance | Good — suitable for humid, marine, and outdoor environments |
| Quantity per Order | 1 piece per variant selected |

Measure the shaft or bore your tube must fit over or inside. The Inner Diameter (ID) should clear your shaft with a small tolerance — typically 0.1–0.5mm of clearance for a sliding fit. The Outer Diameter (OD) determines the external envelope. For example, if your bore is 20mm, choose ID 20mm or the next size up. All variants in this listing have a fixed length of 100mm (≈3.94 inches).
Wall thickness = (OD − ID) ÷ 2. For example, OD 40mm × ID 30mm gives a wall of 5mm (≈0.197 inches). Each variant page lists its specific OD and ID so you can calculate the exact wall thickness before ordering.
Bronze and brass alloys generally offer tensile strengths in the range of 300–500 MPa depending on the specific alloy grade. They are well-suited for moderate structural, bearing, and bushing applications. For critical load-bearing designs, consult an engineer and confirm the alloy specification with us before ordering.
Yes. Bronze and brass are naturally corrosion-resistant materials that perform well in humid, marine, and outdoor environments without additional coating. They are commonly used in plumbing, marine hardware, and architectural applications where moisture resistance is required.
Yes. All dimensions are metric (mm). The OD and ID values correspond to standard metric tube sizing, making them generally compatible with metric fittings, flanges, and bushings. Always verify the exact tolerance class required for your application, as press-fit vs. slip-fit tolerances differ.
Yes. Bronze and brass machine easily with standard metalworking tools — hacksaws, band saws, lathes, and milling machines all work well. These tubes can be cut, drilled, tapped, or turned to your required length or profile without special tooling.
Bronze is primarily copper-tin, while brass is copper-zinc. Both are used for tubes and bushings. This product is listed as a bronze/brass tube — the exact alloy grade is noted in the variant SKU. Contact us to confirm the specific alloy if your application requires a certified grade.
Match the ID to your shaft diameter plus your desired clearance. For a 25mm shaft with a slip fit, choose ID 25mm or ID 30mm. For a press fit, choose ID equal to or slightly smaller than the shaft — typically within 0.01–0.05mm. Use the OD to ensure the tube fits within your housing or bore.
