Chock Bushing: Heavy-Duty Metallurgy, Roll-Neck Support, Lubrication Control, and Mill Reliability
A chock bushing is a heavy-duty plain-bearing component fitted in a mill chock or bearing housing to support, guide, or locate a roll neck, shaft, pivot, or related rotating member. In rolling mills, strip mills, plate mills, bar mills, coilers, presses, and process equipment, the bushing must tolerate high radial force, shock, vibration, heat, cooling water, oxide scale, lubricant contamination, and demanding maintenance schedules. A technically correct chock-bushing specification combines copper-alloy metallurgy, backing or split-bush construction, bore geometry, fit, lubrication, shaft condition, inspection, and replacement strategy.
