Bushings (highly wear-resistant)

Special requirements calling for an interference fit similar to those of tubular solid steel bushings can be accommodated through control of the gap. For such applications, the user may specify the press-in force, i.e. the interference fit desired.

Bushings are manufactured to a controlled, oversized diameter. This process and the inherent elasticity of the material provide constant radial tension for a tight fit - even if the bore hole becomes enlarged.

Carburized Bushings

In the event design constraints preclude the use of a tension bushing, Vogelsang Carburized Bushings with a closed slot offer another solution to difficult bearing point problems. Such bushings due to their surface hardness of over 700 HV, provide excellent wear resistance.
