The two main types of splits in bushings have pros and cons. Both the normal (or straight) split and clinch butt joint are outlined below.

Wrapped Bushing Split Joints

Wrapped bushings – or bushes – have been around for decades. Their simplicity, efficiency and ability to take up space or protect the shaft are a testament to their versatility and long standing success. Aside from the materials used to form the bushing some with self-lubricating features, one of the questions that is frequently asked relate to the joint construction of the split along the bushing.

Solving Critical Boom Bearing Challenge within 1 Week

An OEM was experiencing worldwide failure of their telehandler’s boom retraction and was in dire need of a solution. Their current supplier did not have the ability to address the issue in a timely manner, nor did they have a potential solution. The OEM reached out to CCTY based on a suggestion from one of their suppliers.

Choosing the Correct Mounting for Your PTFE Bushing Design

The Case for Matching Shaft with Self-Lubricating Bushings

February 28, 2022October 12, 2016

A bushing design that experiences frequent start-ups and shut-downs can lead to premature wearing – or even failure. This also happens when a bushing runs too dry, for example when there is a sudden loss of contact lubrication, an aggressive contamination influence or simply an under-designed mating shaft.

Understanding Bushings

Bushings are the bearing with multiple uses and names – bushing, bushes and often times just the term bearing is used.

Metal-Polymer Bushings and High Load Applications

February 28, 2022September 26, 2016

One of the chief difficulties in traditional bushing design is lowing friction and preventing premature wear, despite lubrication. This lifecycle concern comes as no surprise given that efficient machines run around the clock and typically produce varying degrees of heat profiles within the operating systems. A secondary lubrication source, such as a costly grease or oil, should be avoided but may need to be considered to help manage the destructive heat influences.
