Drill Jig Bushings - Oil Groove Bushings
Author:admin Date:2023-05-11
Manufacturer of drill jig bushings including oil groove & coolant bushings. DFARS & RoHS compliant.
Oil grooves are milled into the surface of a bronze bushing to store lubricant and reduce frictional forces. They also allow for self-lubrication, decreasing maintenance and operating costs.
Several factors can affect how long oil grooves last, including the temperature of the application and the lubricant used.
1. Reduces Friction and Wear
The grooves in Oil Groove Bushings allow the lubricant to enter the bore and spread throughout, reducing friction between the shaft and the bushing. This reduces the wear on both, extending the life of the bushing and increasing performance.
These bushings also resist corrosion well and are strong enough for a wide variety of applications. They’re available in a range of materials, including bronze, steel and plastic. The type of material chosen depends on the application and load capacity.
For example, a steel backed babbitt bushing is ideal for use with heavier loads and high speeds, while an aluminum bronze bushing offers superior fatigue resistance and load-carrying capabilities at lower speed and less load transfer. Additionally, aluminum bronze resists heat better than steel and offers a higher level of machinability and castability.
2. Self-Lubricating
Unlike solid bronze bushings, Oil Groove Bushings have grooves or holes that allow lubricating oil to flow throughout the bushing. This lubrication reduces friction and wear, as well as heat buildup. This minimizes maintenance and downtime for repairs, and improves performance and durability.
Many types of equipment require lubrication to reduce wear and friction between shafts and bushings. However, some lubrication methods can be costly and lead to contamination and environmental hazards. Oil-impregnated bushings eliminate these problems, allowing equipment to operate with reduced maintenance and costs.
3. Reduces Heat Buildup
Oilless bushings are designed to provide a reliable performance without the need for additional lubrication, reducing the risk of overheating and extending their lifespan. This makes them a popular choice for industrial applications where equipment must work under demanding conditions.
PTFE bushings are made from polytetrafluoroethylene plastic material and fillers like carbon fiber to create an abrasion-resistant structure that can withstand high temperatures. They also resist corrosion and can withstand vibrations and other environmental factors that might affect other types of bushings.
Milled grooves bearing is a type of bronze bushing with milled grooves that are used to hold lubricant and increase its effectiveness. The number, size, and spacing of the grooves can vary depending on your application.
Custom manufacturer of oil groove, coolant, and machined bushings in a wide range of sizes. Serves the manufacturing, aerospace, architectural, oil, and power generation plant industries. DFARS and RoHS compliant. Custom CNC machining services are available. Made in the USA.
4. Reduces Noise
Oil grooves provide a passageway for coolant in a bushing’s ID wall. They are available in 25 different groove styles and with optional wipers to prevent dirt & chips from entering the bushing. Bushings with oil grooves offer superior lubrication, reduce heat buildup, and extend equipment life.
In the fourth embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, when the roller 6 collides with a tooth flank of the sprocket, the protruding portions 10 fit into the oil grooves 7C. A squeeze or wedge effect is produced, and the lubricating oil L which fills the oil grooves 7C escaping from the gaps between the projections 9 and the outer face of the bushing 2C can cushion the impact force caused by the collision.
Bronze is hard, resistant to wear & corrosion and has high load-carrying capacity. Babbitt is lower-cost, but offers similar fatigue resistance and load-carrying capability. Cast iron is stronger than bronze and is used to support hardened steel shafts.
