Bucket Bush: page 57
Bushings provide precise guidance in hydraulic cylinders, joints and other assemblies where it is necessary to absorb lateral forces and reduce wear. Their role is to centre the piston or rod, absorb radial loads and protect the friction surfaces. Good bushings prevent premature wear of hydraulic components, thereby reducing repair costs. We stock and sell bushings made from bronze, polyurethane and other engineering materials. We offer fast delivery nationwide.
Types of bushings available
Our catalogue includes several types of bushings, suitable for various technical applications:
- BK-1 bushings – the standard solution for guide applications in hydraulic cylinders and industrial mechanisms;
- HRC2 bushings – these offer enhanced wear resistance and can be used under heavy loads and in harsh operating conditions;
- BK-2 bushings – an improved version for applications requiring tight tolerances and enhanced durability;
- HRC bushings – hardened steel bushings, designed for applications with high mechanical loads;
- E90 bushings – self-lubricating bronze bushings for applications requiring low maintenance;
- E90F bushings – the flanged version of the E90 model, for simplified axial fixing;
- E92 bushings – bushings with improved performance compared to the E90 series, suitable for higher loads and speeds, including applications where bronze bushings are used;
- E92F bushings – the flanged version of the E92 bronze model;
- EB65.01 bushings – thin-walled bushings for confined spaces and precision applications;
- EB65.02 bushings – the extended version of the EB65 series, for larger dimensions and higher loads;
- JDB bushings – bimetallic bushings made of steel and graphite bronze, with excellent self-lubricating properties;
- JDBF bushings – flanged version of the JDB model, made of graphite bronze, for easy installation and positioning;
- E60 bushings – brass bushings for moderate-load applications; made from pure bronze;
- XA bushings – special bushings for excavators and heavy construction machinery;
- SBA bushings – self-lubricating spherical bushings for oscillating joints;
- GFR bushings – steel bushings with a bronze and Teflon coating, ideal for applications without lubrication.
Where are bushings used?
Bushings are used in a wide range of industrial and mobile applications:
- hydraulic cylinders for excavators, bulldozers, cranes and other construction equipment;
- articulation mechanisms for arms, buckets and other moving components;
- agricultural machinery: tractors, combine harvesters, hydraulic lifting systems;
- hydraulic presses and other industrial equipment with linear motion;
- suspension and steering systems for motor vehicles and heavy machinery.

Choosing the right bushing
The correct choice of bushing is determined by a set of technical parameters: the internal diameter (of the rod or piston), the external diameter (of the bore) and the length of the bushing. Operating conditions are also essential for selecting the bushing. Internal diameter, external diameter, length and operating conditions.
The dimensions of the bushings must meet the equipment manufacturer’s requirements. The choice of materials depends on the radial loads, speeds and operating environments. Bronze bushings are recommended for heavy loads and high temperatures. They can be used at a maximum speed of 0.5 m/s where lubrication is not possible.
Polymer bushings do not rust and do not require additional lubrication. Materials are selected based on the possible presence of water, dust or chemicals.
