Bushings

A bushing is a component commonly used in power transmission systems. It is essentially a cylindrical lining or sleeve inserted into a machine part or housing, such as a pulley or gear, to reduce friction and wear between moving parts.

In power transmission, bushings are used to mount rotating shafts and reduce wear and tear on the shaft and surrounding components. They also help to reduce vibration and noise and prevent damage to the machinery due to misalignment or excessive load. Various types of bushings are used in power transmission systems, including plain bushings, flanged bushings, and spherical bushings. The choice of bushing will depend on the specific application and system’s requirements.

Bushings are essential in ensuring the smooth and reliable operation of power transmission systems by reducing friction and wear and helping to absorb shock and vibration.
