Wrapped vs Solid Bronze Bushings: Look Beyond the Wall Thickness
A drawing marked ‘bronze bush’ can leave a surprisingly large question unanswered: how is the sleeve made? Rolling a strip and machining a blank are different routes to the same basic shape. Oil grooves, pockets and graphite inserts add another set of choices.
Keep those decisions separate. ‘Wrapped’ describes the body; ‘self-lubricating’ describes a lubrication system. Confusing the two can send a perfectly reasonable enquiry to the wrong product range.
