Tension Control Bushings

A cylinder machine part with a wavy-shaped opening on one side. The opening at both ends have chamfered edges. The bushing is made from a high carbon steel that provides sufficient elasticity to provide a properly tight radial fit.

The bushing protects the bore or shaft in which it is installed. Typically, they are pressed into the rod or clevis end of hydraulic cylinders, pivot points for equipment attachments and other moving parts. The elasticity of the part and the chamfered end-design enables these items to be easily installed using a hammer and a drift or a hydraulic press without damaging other components to which they are being fitted. They resist wear, maintain performance in harsh interiormente and withstand temperatures to 350°C. Among their uses include agricultural equipment, commercial lawn equipment, conveyors. earth movers,. heavy trucks, material handling equipment, ,mining and railroad applications.
