Linear Bushings with Seals

Bushings and sleeves with seals, characterized by a corrosion-resistant anodized aluminum outer shell and an inner sleeve coated with PTFE or acetal resin (POM).  

1. Material: Sliding bushings with seals are made of solid materials such as steel, bronze, or fiber-reinforced composites, offering good resistance to wear and abrasion. The selected material depends on the specific application and lubrication requirements.

2. Structure: Sliding bushings consist of a cylindrical sleeve inserted into a housing or mechanical counterpart. Inside the sleeve, there may be a lubricating coating, such as a thin film of oil or grease, to reduce friction and improve performance.

3. Seals: Sliding bushings with seals include sealing devices that prevent the entry of contaminants and leakage of lubricant. Seals can be made of rubber or elastomeric materials, providing good sealing and effective protection against dust, moisture, and aggressive chemicals.

4. Friction reduction: Sliding bushings with seals are designed to reduce friction and wear between moving surfaces. The material of the bushings and the lubricating coating help minimize friction and improve system efficiency.

The industrial use of sliding bushings with seals is wide and varied. Some of the sectors where they are commonly used include:

1. Industrial automation: Sliding bushings with seals are employed in machine tools, industrial robots, conveyors, and handling systems, where they are subjected to intense mechanical stresses and require long-term durability.

2. Commercial vehicles and automobiles: Sliding bushings with seals are found in engines, transmissions, suspensions, and other components of commercial vehicles and automobiles. They are essential to ensure smooth and reliable operation of these systems.

3. Mining and extraction industry: Sliding bushings with seals are used in drilling, extraction, handling, and transportation equipment in the mining and extraction industries. Wear resistance and reliability are fundamental requirements in these applications.
