Carbide bushings play an important role in the engineering field. The bushing of this special material can not only support axial load, but also reduce friction and wear, provide guidance and positioning functions, and provide sealing performance. This article will introduce in detail the function of carbide bushings.

The primary function of carbide bushings is to support axial loads. In mechanical equipment, axial load refers to the force exerted on shafts and bearings along the axial direction. These loads may be static or dynamic, such as spindle loads in machine tools. The carbide bushing can withstand the axial load and transmit it to the bearing, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the shaft and bearing.

Carbide bushings reduce friction and wear. Carbide has excellent wear and corrosion resistance and works with bearings to provide a smooth working surface where the shaft contacts the bearing. In this way, carbide bushings can reduce friction and wear between shafts and bearings, extend their service life, and improve equipment reliability.

Carbide bushings also provide guidance and positioning functions. In some precision equipment, such as machine tools and hydraulic systems, accurate guidance and positioning are critical to the performance of the equipment. The carbide bushing can ensure the accurate position of the shaft, prevent the shaft from shifting or swinging during work, and ensure the normal operation of the equipment.

Carbide bushings can provide certain sealing performance. In industrial equipment, especially hydraulic systems and pump applications, sealing is crucial. Carbide bushings can prevent external dust, contaminants and liquids from entering the bearing and protect the bearing from damage. At the same time, it can also prevent the lubricating oil or grease in the bearing from leaking to the external environment, ensuring that the equipment can operate under good lubrication conditions.
