Shafts and Bushings
Shafts and bushings work in tandem: the shaft rotates or slides inside the stationary bushing. The bushing acts as a sacrificial wear surface, which is less expensive and easier to replace than the shaft or the machine housing itself, simplifying maintenance and reducing downtime. They form a vital, reliable, and cost-effective system in countless industrial applications, from automotive engines and heavy construction equipment to industrial machinery and robotics.
