Buy Bronze Bushes Online in Australia
A plain bronze bush is a bearing surface or wear liner pressed into a housing, so a shaft or pin turns, slides or pivots inside it. AIMS Industrial lists two plain cylindrical bronze bush products from Finer Power Transmissions, covering 243 sizes between them: 192 imperial sizes and 51 metric sizes, each with its own part number. They are a common replacement where an original bush has worn. Our bronze bush and plain bearing guide covers how bronze bushes work and how to choose one.
What's in the range
| Bronze bush | Sizes |
|---|---|
| Plain, imperial (192 sizes) | Inside diameter 5/16 to 2-1/2 inch, outside diameter 7/16 to 3 inch, length 1/2 to 4 inch. |
| Plain, metric (51 sizes) | Inside diameter 8 to 50 mm, outside diameter 10 to 60 mm, length 10 to 100 mm. |
Each product lists inside diameter (A), outside diameter (B) and length (L) for every part number, with the approximate mass of the bush where the manufacturer lists it. Both products are described as plain cylindrical bronze bushes. Flanged bushes, oilite sintered bushes and wrapped bushes are not listed in this collection.
Choosing a bronze bush
Choose the bush from the shaft or pin diameter, the housing bore and the length of the bearing seat. The inside diameter (A) is the bore the shaft runs in, and the outside diameter (B) is the diameter that fits the housing. Bronze bushes are normally pressed into the housing, so check the fit in the housing and the running clearance on the shaft for your application, and ream or machine the bore to size if you need a closer fit. For a size that is not listed, bronze bar stock is available for machining your own bushes.
Always check the data sheet. Dimensions are as listed in the manufacturer catalogue and are for reference. Confirm the measurement with us if it is critical to your application.
