Q: Bushing VS Bearings What Are The Differences?

Update Time:2022/1/26

A: 

Bearings are an important part of contemporary machinery and equipment. Its main function is to support the mechanical rotating body, reduce the friction coefficient during its movement, and ensure its rotation accuracy. According to the different friction properties of the moving elements, bearings can be divided into rolling bearings and sliding bearings. Among them, rolling bearings have been standardized and serialized, but compared with sliding bearings, their radial dimensions, vibration and noise are larger, and the price is higher.

bushings vs bearings

The bushing as a gasket in the field of valve applications, the bushing is inside the valve cover, and corrosion-resistant materials such as polytetrafluoroethylene or graphite are generally used for sealing.
