Maximize the durability and reliability of your heavy-duty machinery with our precision-engineered Steel Groove Bushings. In extreme-pressure or high-impact environments, standard bushings can suffer from premature galling and seizure. Our custom-machined lubrication grooves address this by maintaining a robust, pressurized lubricant barrier between the pin and the bushing wall.
Why Choose Steel Grooved Bushings?
The primary advantage of steel-based bushings is Structural Integrity and Wear Resistance. By integrating specialized pathways into high-grade carbon or alloy steel, our grooved bushings:
Enhance Load Capacity: Support significantly higher PSI loads compared to softer alloys.
Optimize Surface Hardness: Often case-hardened to prevent surface deformation while maintaining lubrication flow.
Extend Maintenance Intervals: Improved grease retention means less downtime for manual re-lubrication.
Strategic Groove Patterns & Their Applications
We offer a comprehensive range of industry-standard and custom patterns designed to optimize the lifespan of your steel-on-steel or steel-on-hardened-pin connections:
|
Groove Pattern |
Best For |
Functional Benefit |
|
Straight / Circular |
Basic lubrication |
Provides a steady reservoir for oil or grease in unidirectional rotation. |
|
Figure 8 / Double 8 |
High-load oscillation |
Ideal for pivot points where the pin moves back and forth under heavy stress. |
|
Loop / Double Loop |
Sealed environments |
Maximizes lubricant retention within the bearing to prevent dry spots. |
|
Spiral / Helical |
High-speed rotation |
Uses the shaft's rotation to actively "pump" lubricant across the entire bore. |
|
Extended Grooves |
Contaminated zones |
Designed to flush out grit and old grease through the ends of the bushing. |
Typical Applications
Our grooved steel bushings are the critical components for equipment operating under harsh conditions, including:
Heavy Construction: Bucket pins, blade pivots, and undercarriage assemblies.
Waste Management: Compactor linkages and lift-arm pivot points.
Material Handling: Conveyor rollers and high-capacity forklift masts.
Off-Road Equipment: Suspension bushings for logging and earthmoving vehicles.
