The flanged variant of the graphite bronze series, the EB65.02 bushings, is designed for applications where an axial load is added to the usual radial movement.
As with the other flanged variants in the Hydraulic Seals Store range, the flange of the EB65.02 bushings absorbs the axial load, but the additional advantage of this series comes from the graphite inserts, which maintain low friction on both the cylindrical surface and the flange surface. This combination is particularly useful in joints that oscillate frequently under variable axial loads, where a bushing without internal lubrication would wear unevenly.
They are recommended where the joint transmits both a radial and an axial load — for example, in stabilizers or articulated arms on heavy machinery. The collar absorbs the axial load, whilst the graphite inserts in the bushing body reduce friction during rotational or oscillating movement.
The combination of the collar and solid graphite makes them suitable for environments with variable loads and repeated operating cycles, where a bushing without internal lubrication would wear out much more quickly. For similar applications, XA bushings, E92 bushings and EB65.01 bushings are comparable alternatives, whilst for higher impact loads, JDBF bushings are worth considering.
Hydraulic Seals Store stocks EB65.02 bushings in standard sizes, with clear technical data sheets for each product. Ordering online is straightforward, and fast delivery minimizes machine downtime.
The full dimensions — internal and external diameters, length, and collar diameter and thickness — are shown for each EB65.02 variant in the catalogue so that you can check compatibility before ordering. For equipment with multiple similar pivot points, ordering a complete set reduces the total maintenance time and the number of stoppages required for individual repairs.
