What Are Oilless Bushings? How Do They Work?

Oilless bushings, also known as self-lubricating bushings, are a type of plain bearing that does not require any external lubrication to operate smoothly. Instead, they are designed to work using a variety of other materials and mechanisms to minimize friction and wear.

How To Use Oilless Bushing?

Here are some general steps to follow when using oilless bushings:

  1. Ensure the bushing is compatible with the application: Check the manufacturer’s specifications to ensure the bushing is suitable for the specific application, including load capacity, temperature range, and other environmental factors.
  2. Proper installation: Ensure that the bushing is installed properly according to the manufacturer’s guidelines. Improper installation can lead to premature failure or poor performance.
  3. Avoid contamination: Oilless bushings are sensitive to contamination, which can affect their performance. Keep the bushings clean and free of dust, dirt, and debris.
  4. Maintenance: Oilless bushings require less maintenance than traditional bushings, but they still need a periodic inspection to ensure they are performing properly. Check for signs of wear or damage and replace the bushing if necessary.

Types Of Oilless Bushing

There are several types of oilless bushings:

  • graphite plugged bronze bushing: the solid lubricant bushing, which uses a solid material, such as graphite, to provide lubrication between the bushing and the shaft. The solid lubricant slowly releases during use, providing a constant supply of lubrication without the need for oil or grease.
  • polymer bushing, which is made from self-lubricating plastic material. These bushings have small pockets or channels built into the surface, which trap and distribute the lubricant evenly across the surface of the bushing.
  • composite bushing, which uses a combination of materials, such as PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) and bronze, to create a low-friction surface. The PTFE acts as a lubricant, while the bronze provides strength and support.
