A simple suspension bearing that accommodates limited rotary motion, typically made of two coaxial steel tubes bonded to a sleeve of rubber between them. The compliance of the bushing in different directions has a great effect on ride harshness and handling.

Any removable metal lining, generally a thin metal ring surrounding a part to provide either a bearing surface or a tighter fit than direct machining could achieve.

A sleeve or a lining for a bearing or a drill jig to guard against wear.
Helpful?           0
An insulator attached to a piece of electrical equipment, such as a capacitor or transformer. The capacitor keeps an energized conductor insulated from the equipment.
Helpful?           0
An insulator found on electrical equipment where the wires attach to the equipment. Transformers and capacitors have bushings.

a sleeve that is used as a bearing on suspension forks, suspension swing arms, pedals, and derailleur jockey wheels.

(1) in machinery, a removable liner fixed in a bore to improve the bearing surface; (2) in chain, a renewable liner fixed in the barrel of a link, or center link, to provide an improved bearing surface; (3) in chain, a hollow cylinder used to space the sidebars and provide a bearing surface for the chain pin, and on which the rollers may or may not be mounted.

an insulating liner in an opening through which conductors pass
Helpful?           0
a cylindrical metal lining used to reduce friction
Helpful?           0
a cylindrical sleeve made of a slippery material that spins directly on the spindle
Helpful?           0
a hollow cylinder used as a renewable liner for a bearing or a drill jig
Helpful?           0
a smooth sleeve that gives the axle a low friction surface to spin in
Helpful?           0
an insulated fitting for carrying a conductor through a metal enclosure of electrical equipment such as transformers or capacitors.
Helpful?           0
A plastic or metal piece used to reduce friction and play between moving parts.
Helpful?           0
Removable cylindrical lining for an opening used to limit the size of an opening, to resist abrasion, or serve as a guide for another object.
Helpful?           0
a cylindrical plastic lining for a redline wheel used to resist abrasion or friction. Bushing wheels were used on redlines from 1968-1971.
Helpful?           0
A close fitting support device used to restrict flow between two liquids, thermally isolate a hot liquid, support the rotating shaft, break down pressure etc. Commonly made of carbon or Teflon.
Helpful?           0
A material that acts as a buffer between metal and metal or metal and wood to avoid abrasion. There are many types of bushings used in the piano: plate bushing, key bushing, flange bushings, and teflon bushings.
Helpful?           0
(as contrasted with "bearing") Mechanically, almost identical to a bearing. The difference is that a bushing forms a continuous circle. Therefore, bushings are drawn in and out of continuous bores in a block, rather than being retained by a cap.
Helpful?           0
The lining of an inside surface to reduce friction.
Helpful?           0
A aoft metal like lead, babitt, or aluminum used to line the arbor holes of some grinding wheels. Also a removable ring, usually steel, used to adapt a grinding wheel to a smaller spindle.
Helpful?           0
A protective liner that provides a cushion between moving metal parts.
Helpful?           0
This term refers to a mechanical device used for mounting a sprocket or gear on a shaft. Several types of bushings exist including straight bronze sleeves and the split-tapered style, of which there are several (e.g. - B-Loc, Taper-Lock®, Q.D.®).
Helpful?           0
A metal, and sometimes nylon, "donut" that supports a rotating shaft (like an axle). Most metal bushings are made out of something like Bronze Oilite, a metal that is permanently lubricated.
Helpful?           0
A sleeve, metallic or nonmetallic, usually removable or replaceable, which is placed in a body to resist wear, erosion, etc.
Helpful?           0
a usually removable cylindrical lining for an opening used to limit the size of the opening, resist abrasion, or serve as a guide.
Helpful?           0
A brass ‘bearing' into which an arbor pivot fits and rotates.
Helpful?           0
A liner, usually removable, for a bearing; an anti-friction liner used in place of a bearing.
Helpful?           0
A bushing is an electrical engineering component that insulates a high voltage conductor passing through a metal enclosure. Bushings appear on switchgear, transformers, circuit breakers and other high voltage equipment.
