FAQ

Q: What is the lifespan of these bushings?

A: Depending on the material and operating conditions, the lifespan generally ranges from 5-10 years.

A: Standard models are typically shipped within 7-10 working days, while custom products depend on specific requirements.

A: Yes, we provide samples for testing purposes.

A: Self-lubricating bushings reduce friction and wear without the need for additional lubrication. This minimizes maintenance frequency, improves braking efficiency, and increases the overall lifespan of the braking system. They are particularly useful in environments where frequent lubrication is impractical.

A: The right material depends on several factors, including load capacity, operating temperature, environmental conditions (e.g., moisture, dust, or corrosion), and maintenance needs. For example:

  • SF-1 Self-Lubricating: Ideal for medium-speed, low-load applications.
  • Bimetallic: Best for heavy-load, high-impact conditions.
  • Bronze: Suitable for wet or corrosive environments.
  • Embedded Graphite: Performs well under high-temperature and high-frequency braking.
A: Yes, our bushings are designed to fit a wide range of heavy-duty trucks, including long-haul transport trucks, construction vehicles, mining trucks, and special-purpose vehicles like firefighting and military trucks. Customization is also available to meet specific requirements.

A: Standard bushings are manufactured in common sizes and materials to suit general applications. Custom-made bushings can be tailored in terms of dimensions, materials, surface treatments, and load capacities, providing optimized solutions for specific operational conditions.

A: Although self-lubricating bushings require less maintenance, regular inspections are recommended to check for wear, debris buildup, or damage. In heavy-duty or corrosive environments, occasional cleaning may be necessary to maintain optimal performance.

A: Yes, all our bushings are manufactured in compliance with ISO 9001 and TS 16949 quality management standards. They also meet relevant industry safety and performance regulations.
