Graphite Bushing / Solid Lubricating Bushing
What Are Graphite Bushings / Solid Lubricating Bushings?
Solid lubricating bushings consist of a metal matrix with precisely designed cavities filled with oil-impregnated graphite or molybdenum disulfide solid lubricants. During operation, solid lubricant transfers to the mating surface, helping to reduce friction.
Our bushings are produced using high-precision CNC machining and quality control procedures to maintain consistent dimensions and product quality.
To suit different operating conditions, we offer a wide range of solid lubricating bushing models, as well as custom solutions developed around each customer’s application requirements.

MYWAY Graphite Bushing / Solid Lubricating Bushing FAQs
1. What are the precautions for using embedded solid-lubricated bushings?
Standard specifications are recommended for design applications. For non-standard requirements, please consult our technical team.
Clean both inner and outer surfaces thoroughly before assembly to ensure complete removal of impurities and foreign particles.
Applying lubricating grease to the friction surface prior to assembly can shorten the run-in period, improve operational smoothness, and extend service life.
During assembly, press-fit the bushing gently into place. Avoid violent impact or hammering, which may cause deformation and reduce performance.
For high-load conditions or reciprocating motions, secure the bushing to the housing hole using set screws.
A black or gray-black lubricating film may form on the shaft surface during operation. Do not remove—this is a normal protective layer.
For optimal performance, shafts should be made of materials with higher hardness than the bushing.
2. Can graphite be used in motor bushings?
Yes. Graphite-embedded bushings are well-suited for various electric motor applications. Their self-lubricating nature ensures smooth operation without oil contamination or maintenance, especially in high-temperature or sealed motor designs where traditional lubrication is impractical.
3. How is graphite applied to a bushing?
While powdered graphite can be used as a temporary supplement, the most effective method is through embedded graphite plugs. At MYWAY, graphite is inserted into precisely machined cavities in the bushing wall during manufacturing. This built-in reservoir steadily supplies lubricant throughout the bushing’s service life, ensuring consistent performance without manual re-lubrication.
