Plastic Bushings

Plastic bushings for shaft guidance and controlled friction, including low-lubrication and dry-running duties.

Overview

Cylindrical, flanged, split, and special bushings are machined to the required inside diameter, outside diameter, length, fit, and running clearance. Material selection considers surface pressure, sliding speed, temperature, contamination, moisture, and shaft material.

Applications

Hinges and pivot joints
Conveyor and packaging machinery
Water and chemical-process equipment

Highlights

Plain, flanged, and split designs
Potential for reduced lubrication
Precisely controlled fit and running clearance
