About Boston Gear 18514 Bushing, Soft
This Boston Gear soft steel bushing is suitable for use as a standoff, spacer, or hole reducer. It is made of unhardened steel for machinability. This steel bushing can be adapted for many uses, including wear sleeve, liner, or cutting arbor stud.Plain bearings provide low-friction sliding contact for relative motion between parts of a machine. They are the simplest type of bearing, with no rolling elements, and there are three basic types of plain bearings: radial plain bearings (also called sleeve bearings or bushings) to support rotating or reciprocating shafts, thrust bearings (also called washers) to support axial loads on shafts, and linear bearings to support and guide the motion of parts in a straight line. Flanged sleeve bearings have a flange on one end to support axial loads. Spherical plain bearings are radial bearings that allow for angular misalignment of the shaft. Plain bearings are made from durable, low-friction materials such as sintered or cast bronze alloys, plastic, or a combination of a metal shell and a plastic bearing surface. They can be lubricated externally or by a lubricant embedded in the bearing material. Plain bearings are used in automobiles, construction and mining equipment, textile manufacturing equipment, and robotics, among others.Boston Gear manufactures gear drives, variable speed drives, clutches, and components such as sprockets and bearings.
