Bushing, Thrust Washers

Bushing, Thrust Washers

Bushings are suitable for rotating, oscillating and linear movements, whereas straight (cylindrical) bushings can accommodate radial loads only and flanged bushings can accommodate radial and axial loads in one direction.

Each combination of bushing design and material has characteristic properties and makes a bushing particularly suitable for certain applications.

Thrust washers are designed for applications where axial space is limited, maintenance is not possible and where lubricant starvation can occur.
