For those who have never worked with bushings or bearings, the terms may be confusing given they are sometimes used interchangeably. Bushings and bearings perform the same task at different levels of complexity. Both are used to reduce the friction around the shaft so that 2 parts can move independently of each other.
A bearing is an object that allows relative motion between two objects, surfaces or components. There are generally two types of bearings: plain bearings, otherwise known as bushings, and roller bearings. There are also other types such as ball bearings, pillow block bearings and magnetic bearings.
Simply put, a bushing is a simple tube between the two parts. It may also be called a sleeve bearing or plain bearing. These may be made of different materials to suit various applications.
Armed with this knowledge, you’ll have a better understanding of the situation when making your purchase. Find bearing suppliers on our online directory to buy bushings and bearings near you.
