About Category
This page lists Samick linear bushings, BECO spherical plain bearings and Gates taper lock bushings, plus a few accessories with bushing in the name. Linear bushings let a part slide along a shaft. Spherical plain bearings are used where a joint needs to pivot. Taper lock bushings fit pulleys and sprockets to a shaft.

Choosing a bushing
For linear bushings, start with the shaft diameter and the mounting style. Round, flanged, square flanged, oval flanged and aluminium case units are all listed, as are long, open and self-aligning versions. Check the part number against your shaft size and housing.
For spherical plain bearings, choose the series (standard, heavy, imperial), then sealed or open, standard or PTFE lined, and the bore. Angular contact and thrust types are listed separately.
Always check the data sheet. Confirm the size and type suit your shaft, housing and load before ordering.
