Bronze Bushing
Bendix

Bronze bushings serve as critical wear and load distributing components in pivot and hinge assemblies found throughout heavy duty drivetrain and suspension interfaces. Constructed from bronze, these bushings offer excellent embeddability, load capacity, and load sharing with mating surfaces, which helps minimize wear on both the bushing and the housing. The robust bronze composition provides favorable lubricity and natural anti-seizure properties, reducing friction during high cycle operation and enabling longer service intervals in hot, dirty, or moisture-prone environments. In practice, they support smooth rotational or oscillating movement in steering linkages, rockers, and actuator supports where precise clearance is essential. The VMRS code identifies the part’s functional category for maintenance planning and inventory categorization, aiding technicians in selecting compatible materials for lubrication regimes and housing fits. With a category context that aligns to standard hardware and bushing applications, these bushings are designed for reliable performance in heavy trucks where routine pivot point wear is a limiting factor. For applications, operators should verify housing bore tolerance and lubrication compatibility, ensuring a proper press or slip fit to maximize service life and maintain consistent alignment under load. This bronze solution balances durability, machinability, and cost efficiency across demanding fleet operations.
