1. Clean the shaft, bushing hole, bushing outside, and components (sprocket, pulley,
Etc.).
2. Insert the bushing into the assembly. Match hole patterns, not threaded holes (each hole is threaded on one side only).
3. Screw the set screw or cap screw into the half-threaded hole as shown in the figure below. Install the assembly onto the shaft.
4. Replace the torque setting or cap screw with the recommended torque setting in the following table.
5. Fill all unoccupied holes with grease.
A cast iron bushing is a type of bearing used to support and guide a rotating shaft within a housing or frame. It is made from cast iron, a strong and durable material known for its excellent wear resistance and high load-bearing capacity.
The cast iron bushing is typically cylindrical in shape, with a central hole or bore that allows the shaft to pass through. The outer surface of the bushing is designed to fit snugly within the housing or frame, providing stability and minimizing friction between the rotating shaft and the surrounding structure.
The primary function of a cast iron bushing is to reduce friction and wear by providing a smooth surface for the rotating shaft to slide against. It also helps to dampen vibrations and absorb shock, enhancing the overall performance and lifespan of the machinery or equipment.
When selecting a cast iron bushing, it is important to consider factors such as the size and dimensions of the bushing, the load and speed requirements of the application, and the environmental conditions in which it will be used. Proper lubrication and maintenance are also crucial to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the bushing.
Cast iron bushings are commonly used in various industries and applications, including automotive, industrial machinery, agricultural equipment, and construction machinery. They are preferred for their durability, resistance to wear, and ability to handle heavy loads and high temperatures.
