When do you press a bearing into a bushing?
When a bushing or bearings are pressed into a housing, the force driving the bushing / bearing should be applied equally or uniform to the end of the bearing to avoid galling, peening or damaging the bushing / bearing.
How are bushings different from rolling element bearings?
Bushings, also known as “ Plain Bearings ” or “Sleeve Bearings,” are designed for use in numerous applications and offer features and benefits unavailable with many rolling-element bearings. Bushings (plain bearings) are distinguished from rolling-element bearings primarily by the fact that they consist of only one part.
What should I do when pressing a bearing into a housing?
When a bushing or bearings are pressed into a housing, the force driving the bushing / bearing should be applied equally or uniform to the end of the bearing to avoid galling, peening or damaging the bushing / bearing. The mating surfaces of both the bushing and housing should be thoroughly cleaned and imperfections as well as burrs removed.
What kind of bushing is used for AST bearings?
Tighter tolerance control can be achieved by re-machining the assembled bearing. These bushings are wrapped from a cold formed homogenous bronze (CuSn8) with exceptional material properties. Depending on the lubrication conditions, the bearing can be provided with diamond shaped lubricant indents (for grease) or through holes (for grease or oil).

When to use self lubricating bushings in bearings?
Self-lubricating bushings are used where the bearing must operate without lubricant or with marginal lubricant. Our focus is on ensuring that the bearing gives the best performance and the longest life under various conditions.
How is a bushing different from a sleeve bearing?
A “bushing” is a closely related classification that can sometimes risk introducing confusion. The formal definition of a bushing is a thin sleeve or tube which constrains relative motion. But how is this different from a sleeve bearing?
