Description

These high-performance stainless steel bushings are solution-treated and precipitation-hardened to HRC 40 for exceptional wear resistance. The precision-ground interior (h6 tolerance) ensures perfect fit with rotating shafts, while the special porous structure retains lubricant for maintenance-free operation. Three key applications: 1) Nuclear reactor control rod mechanisms requiring radiation-resistant components. 2) Desalination plant equipment exposed to highly corrosive brine. 3) Food processing machinery where USDA-approved materials are mandatory. The bushings outperform standard bronze bushings by 3x lifespan in harsh environments and are available with optional PTFE impregnation for dry-running capability.
