Product Overview

This steel-based oilless bushing features a high-strength steel substrate with graphite inserts distributed across the sliding surface. The steel backing provides exceptional load capacity up to 250 N/mm², making it suitable for heavy-duty applications where bronze bushings may not provide sufficient strength. Graphite plugs embedded in the steel surface deliver continuous maintenance-free lubrication without external oil or grease. The steel construction offers superior dimensional stability and resistance to deformation under high loads. Custom inner diameters, outer diameters, lengths, and graphite patterns available for specific application requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Steel-based bushings offer significantly higher load capacity (up to 250 N/mm²) compared to bronze. Steel provides better dimensional stability under heavy loads and higher temperature resistance (up to 300°C), making it suitable for more demanding applications.

Graphite inserts are mechanically retained in machined pockets within the steel surface. The pockets are precision-machined and the graphite plugs are pressed in, ensuring secure retention during operation.

Hardened steel shafts with 50-60 HRC and surface finish Ra 0.2-0.5 micrometers are recommended. Avoid soft shafts as they may wear prematurely against the steel substrate.

Press fit using a tool that contacts the bushing end uniformly. Housing bore should be within ISO H7 tolerance. Steel bushings require careful alignment during installation to prevent scoring of the graphite inserts.

Replace when bore diameter wear exceeds 0.10mm, when graphite on the sliding surface falls below 12% of original coverage, or when the bushing shows signs of deformation or cracking due to overload.

JDB-5 is a reinforced product of the JDB series. It is based on steel GCr15 and embedded with solid lubricant. It is of high compress strength and particularly suitable for supporting positions in hosting machines, eg. The support or stand of the windlass and of the crane. However, it should not be applied in water or in acid/alkali circumstances. It can be used under low, middle, and high loads. Due to its superb high hardness, when under high load, it overperforms other JDB types. Not suitable for water, acid, or alkali circumstances. Most suitable for the supporting position of a hoisting machine,e.g. bulldozer supporter, hoister supporter, reeling machine supporter, etc.
