Choosing the right option

Choose the bush from the shaft or pin diameter, the housing bore and the length of the bearing seat. Inside diameter (A) is the bore the shaft runs in, and outside diameter (B) is the diameter that fits the housing.

The metric bronze bushes are under Bronze Bush, Plain, Metric, 8 to 50mm Bore. For bronze bar to machine your own bushes, see Bronze Hollow Bar, Imperial, 1-1/2 to 2-1/2" OD, 12" Lengths and Bronze Solid Bar, Imperial, 1/2 to 2" Diameter, 12" Lengths.

Bronze bushes are normally pressed into the housing. 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 a closer fit is needed.
