Manufacturer Supply Nylon Bushing


Nylon bushings are cylindrical mechanical components used to line rotating or sliding shafts, reduce friction, absorb shock, and replace heavier metal bearings.

Key Properties & Advantages
  • Self-Lubricating: Many nylon grades (such as PA6, PA66, or oil-filled MC nylon) operate with low or zero external lubrication.

  • Abrasion & Wear Resistance: They handle dry friction well and exhibit low wear rates.

  • Corrosion Proof: Unlike metal bushings, nylon will not rust or corrode when exposed to moisture or harsh chemicals.

  • Lightweight & Quiet: They reduce assembly weight and dampen operational noise compared to bronze or steel.

Common Types

  • Sleeve / Plain Bushings: Straight cylindrical tubes used for standard linear or rotational guidance.

  • Flanged Bushings: Feature a collar/flange on one end to handle axial (thrust) loads and prevent the bushing from sliding through a housing.

  • Custom / Machined Bushings: Produced via CNC turning or custom molding for specialized dimensions.

Typical Applications

  • Automotive & Transportation: Under-the-hood components, suspension pivots, and linkage points.

  • Heavy Machinery: Booms, hitches, pivot points, and hydraulic arms on loaders, cranes, and forklifts.

  • Industrial Equipment: Conveyors, agricultural harvesters, and general manufacturing lines.
