New Bushings Products

Self-Lubricating Bushings suit high temperature applications.

Made from graphite/metal alloy formed from molten metal, graphite, and carbon, 117 Series of GRAPHALLOYÃ-® bushings are available in 2 primary grades for high temperatures, both with FDA acceptance. Many grades of GRAPHALLOYÃ-® can handle temperatures to 750Ã-

Steel-Backed Polymer Bearing suits demanding applications.

Constructed to RoHS standards, FR-164 lead (Pb)-free, steel-backed polymer bearing is designed for use in extreme oil pressure and high-speed conditions. It is offered as straight sleeve bearing, with standard IDs from 2-180 mm; inch sizes are also available. Anti-wear properties, degree of friction, and ability to resist cavitation meet needs of demanding applications in various industries.

Custom Simplicity-® Pushdown Foot Assembly Saves Carpet Manufacturer 95% on Scrap

Carpet tufting creates a tough environment for linear motion products. Processing synthetic fibers into carpet backing using a high speed, reciprocating short stroke machining system, a carpet manufacturer was experiencing unplanned downtime due to linear bearing failure and massive profit loss due to thousands of yards in scrapped end-product. Poor quality and damaged carpeting were sited as the...

Engine Bearings minimize fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

Featuring polymer coated bearing shell, IROX(TM) Bearings withstand mechanical loads produced by heavily boosted engines. Overlay addresses lubrication challenges associated with frequent engine re-starts by protecting crankshaft and bearing shells from damage where metal-to-metal contact would otherwise occur. PolyAmideImide polymer resin binder contains additives dispersed throughout matrix,...

Plastic Plain Bearings for Ski Bindings

Plastic plain bearings for ski bindings EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. - A Colorado-based manufacturer has incorporated iglideÃ-® plastic plain bearings from igusÃ-® into its high-end, telemark ski-bindings, which has both created a more reliable product and virtually eliminated maintenance requirements. Defective ski-bindings risk the health and life of a skier, so it is vitally important that...

Radial Air Bearings deliver frictionless rotary motion.

Radial Air Bearings are available as W and L profile concave configurations for use on OD of rotating body and W and L convex configurations for use on ID. Suited for shafts as small as 25 mm and for rings as large as 3 m, noncontact bearings utilize Porous MediaÃ-® Technology to distribute air evenly across bearing surface, with consistent air pressure optimizing performance. They are...

Linear Bushings facilitate manual positioning.

Available in range of sizes and in single or double versions, LHBBC16 Pillow Block Linear Bushings with Clamp Levers feature slit collar inside that works as clamp and is tightened around shaft as clamp lever rotates. With eco-friendly, self-lubricating design, LHBB-MX16 Pillow Block Linear Bushings extend maintenance intervals making them suited for machines and equipment in difficult-to-reach...

Low Cost Bearings for High-speed Scanning

EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. - January 29, 2009 - Imaging Business Machines LLC (IBML) uses iglide-® polymer plain bearings in its line of intelligent document-scanning platforms. The low-cost, self-lubricating bushings withstand the paper dust created by the scanners and the six-day, 24-hour operation schedules frequently demanded of them. IBML's main goal is to ensure organizations-such as financial...

Bushing Material helps protect pumps and prolong pump life.

Used in manufacture of pump bushings and other critical-wear parts, GRAPHLON GM 860Ã-® polymer/graphite-based material provides abrasion resistance in harsh environments. It has been developed specifically for sump pumps and river water service pumps where abrasives are present. Material also handles limited run dry requirement of these applications.

Bearings meet specifications for hydropower applications.

HPM(TM) and HPF(TM) fiber-reinforced, plastic composite bearings meet US Army Corps of Engineers' specifications for self-lubricating bearings for wicket gate applications in hydropower turbines. When subjected to accelerated wear testing under dry, wet, and low-speed, edge-loaded oscillating conditions simulating those encountered in actual hydropower turbines, bearings showed acceptable...
