A bushing is a component that helps two parts move smoothly by reducing friction. It can be made of various materials based on the operating conditions, including brass and bronze. Choosing the right material can make the difference between a project that works well or fails miserably. Both brass and bronze offer unique advantages for certain tasks. Casting Casting Brass Bushings are available in cast and oil-impregn...
More detailsInadequate lubrication is the leading cause of bearing failure. Self-lubricating Bearings eliminate the need for supplemental lubrication, saving on maintenance costs and eliminating downtime. These plastic bearings are permanently lubricated thanks to their special polymer blend. They are commonly used in motion control equipment to prevent friction-induced wear. They are also: cost-effective, maintenance-free, have...
More detailsThe basic concept behind a bearing is simple – it facilitates linear or rotational movement between two parts while reducing friction. However, the performance of this component can vary dramatically depending on the material it's made from.The most popular bushings are made from bronze and steel, which provide good load capacity and resistance to fatigue. They are suitable for high speed and middle load applications...
More detailsBronze Wrapped Bushings are an effective and cost-efficient bearing solution for a variety of applications. They provide excellent self-lubrication, high load capacity and corrosion resistance. They are also easy to install and are ideal for dirty environments. Their working surface has rolled diamond indentations that can be filled with grease or oil and act as lubrication reservoirs. Self-lubricating Bronze is a me...
More detailsMaterialBronze bushings are manufactured with oil grooves that help lubricate and reduce friction between the shaft and the bushing. This helps to extend the life of equipment and improves performance.The grooves on the bushing allow the lubricant to flow through the grooves, distributing it evenly throughout the shaft. This lubrication provides a layer of protection that protects the shaft from damage, and it reduce...
More detailsFlange bushings, also known as flanged bearings or flanged bushings, are mechanical components used to provide support, reduce friction, and facilitate the movement of rotating shafts or rods. These bushings have a flanged outer ring that helps to secure them in place and provides additional stability. Flange bushings find applications in various industries and machines where rotational or linear movement is required...
