An ID Perforated Dry Bush is a self-lubricating bearing component designed with perforations or holes on the inner diameter (ID) surface to improve lubrication retention, reduce friction, and enhance wear resistance. These bushes are widely used in heavy-duty industrial applications where smooth motion, low maintenance, and long service life are required.

Manufactured using high-quality metal-backed composite materials, ID perforated dry bushes provide reliable performance under high loads, oscillating movements, and demanding operating conditions without the need for continuous external lubrication.

  • Corrosion & Temperature Resistance: Suitable for harsh environments, high temperatures, moisture, and contaminated conditions.
  • Maintenance-Free Operation: Requires minimal lubrication and reduces maintenance downtime.
  • Long Service Life: Engineered for durability and extended operational performance.

Material Composition : Most ID perforated dry bushes consist of

  • Backing:Low Carbon Steel, Duly copper/Tin plated.
  • ID: Porous surface of Cu Sn10 and overlay of Acetal Copolymer coating with Indentations.
  • Load Bearing capacity Static: 250 N/mm²
  • Load Bearing Capacity Dynamic: 140 N/mm²
  • Hardness Internal Surface: No Idea
  • No lead content: Rohs compliant so no lead content.

Working Principle of ID Perforated Dry Bush

The working principle of an ID Perforated Dry Bush is based on controlled self-lubrication, friction reduction, and efficient load handling. Its perforated internal structure ensures smooth motion, reduced wear, and reliable performance in demanding industrial applications where conventional lubrication may be difficult or insufficient.

How an ID Perforated Dry Bush Works

The bush is installed between a shaft and housing to support rotational or linear motion while minimizing metal-to-metal contact. The inner diameter contains small perforations or pockets that store lubricant or solid lubricating material. These perforations ensure continuous lubrication across the contact surface. During shaft movement, the lubricant trapped inside the perforations spreads evenly over the sliding surface, reducing friction and wear. This allows smooth operation even under high loads and varying speeds. The dry bush material, often made from bronze, steel-backed composite, or PTFE-lined material, provides excellent anti-friction properties. The lubrication film prevents direct contact between moving components. he perforated structure improves heat dissipation and minimizes seizure risk, resulting in longer operational life and reduced maintenance requirements.

Types of ID Perforated Dry Bushes:

ID Perforated Dry Bushes are available in different designs and material compositions to suit varying load capacities, operating temperatures, and lubrication requirements.
