While a bushing is a type of bearing, not all bearings are bushings. Bearings encompass a broader category that includes elements like ball bearings, roller bearings, and bushings. Specifically, bushings are a type of plain bearing that provide low-friction support for rotating shafts without the need for rolling elements. To get to know different types of bushings and their various applications, you can find more information in our article here on bushing types.

The term is often used to define the position of the bushing within a mechanical system, such as reduction bushing, traction bushing, centering bushing, guide bushings, etc.

What is bushbearing

This is a general term, that refers to a cylindrical element between two parts to reduce friction during movement. The term originates from the Latin word “buxida”, meaning box.

Bushings vs ball bearings

Bushings, bushes and bearings are often used interchangeably to refer to the same mechanical component: an element inserted between two parts to reduce friction during movement. However, it’s important to note that these terms, while similar, are used with subtle differences depending on the specific context and application

In agriculture, bushings ensure seamless operation in tractors, harvesters, and other farming machinery by facilitating movement in linkages and steering mechanisms. Similarly, in construction equipment like excavators and loaders, bushings enable essential components such as boom arms and buckets to move efficiently.

In the mining sector, bushings withstand harsh conditions and heavy loads, contributing to the functionality of equipment like conveyor systems and drilling machinery. In manufacturing, they support rotating and sliding shafts in machine tools, presses, and industrial robots, ensuring smooth operation.
