Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What makes bi-metal bushings different from regular bronze bushings?
A: Bi-metal bushings combine the strength of a steel backing with the wear resistance of a bronze layer, offering higher load capacity and longer service life.
Q: How long do these self-lubricating bushings typically last?
A: Service life varies by application, but typically lasts 3-5 times longer than conventional lubricated bushings in similar conditions.
Q: Can these bearings be used in food processing equipment?
A: Standard JF-700 bushings are not food-grade. Ask about our NSF-certified options for food industry applications.
Q: Do you offer custom sizes or special configurations?
A: Yes, we can manufacture bushings to your exact specifications including special materials, flanges, or unique dimensions.
