Bushings are used in a variety of medical, pharmaceutical and biotechnology devices and equipment, generally in reciprocating cylinder applications. Bushings can be designed and used as sleeve bushings, flange bushings or as a thrust bearing. The function of the bushing is to allow the rod to move freely with low friction, while preventing metal-to-metal contact. They have a lower load capability than a metal bearing but do not require any external lubrication, keeping contamination to a minimum.

Materials Specific to Healthcare & Medical

The Bushings are typically made of PTFE based Turcite®, Orkot® composite material or HiMod® high modulus plastic including PEEK.

Key Benefits:

Used as a rod guide, mainly in reciprocating applications
Prevents metal-to-metal contact
Low friction
No stick-slip
Do not require external lubrication, reducing contamination
