Tension Bushings
Tension Bushings
Tension bushings, often referred to as split bushings or spring bushings, are rolled pins with a split that runs the length of the bushing and self-retain in a hole using their natural outward tension. Tension bushings act as a friction barrier between bored holes and the shafts that go into them. The gap in the bushing allows it to contract and expand when inserted. This expansion helps for a tight fit if the hole were to expand from normal wear. Chamfered ends make for easier installation and help prevent damage when inserting.- Spring alloy steel flexes under stress for consistent fit
- Easy to remove and replace with minimal tools
- Various split shape designs for different applications
- Extend the lifespan of your moving parts
- Used in unlubricated, harsh conditions for low-speed operations
