About Oilite Bush

Oilite Bushings

Oilite bushings are highly reliable and innovative industrial components that work in systems across a range of industries. These parts consist of an oil-infused porous sintered bronze material, which is why theyre known for their self-lubrication and long-lasting performance capabilities.

Material Composition of Oilite Bushings

Oilite bushings are precision-engineered using sintered bronze, which creates a porous structure throughout the material. This porous design allows it to be infused with oil lubricant, which continually lubricates the surface of the bearing.

Through self-lubrication, Oilite bushings reduce friction while preventing gradual wear and tear, resulting in long-lasting parts that optimize efficiency and cost-effectiveness for many applications.

Oilite Bushings vs. Bronze Bushings vs. Plastic Bushings

Oilite bushings offer certain benefits over traditional plastic and bronze bushings. Without sintering, bronze bushings are durable and reliable but dont have self-lubricating properties. Plastic bushings arent as durable as conventional bronze or Oilite bushings, as they are likely to experience more wear and tear under load-bearing applications.

Unlike bronze and plastic bushings, Oilite bushings sintered bronze design offers superior durability and self-lubrication that make them more efficient compared to regular manual lubrication. These bushings are capable of withstanding heavy loads while reducing friction, making them highly durable options for use in harsh environmental conditions.

Maintenance of Oilite Bushings

Oilite bushings are also easy to maintain. They must undergo periodic cleaning, and its critical to use the right lubricants. Over time, as the bushings experience wear and tear, you must inspect them for damage and replace them as needed.

Generally, the durability of these parts will depend on the types of lubrication used, environmental conditions, and storage methods. With proper maintenance and inspections, youll be able to maximize the longevity of Oilite bushings.
