Typical Hydraulic Application Positions

Self-Lubricating Bronze Flanged Bearings
Engineered for low-speed, high-load, oscillating motion
A proven solution for hydraulic and industrial machinery

1. Hydraulic Cylinder Clevis and Rod End Joints

The most common application of bronze flanged bushings in hydraulic systems is at:

• Hydraulic cylinder base eye

• Piston rod eye or rod end

These positions are subject to:

• High radial loads

• Shock and vibration

• Oscillating or small-angle rotational movement

The self-lubricating bronze flanged bushing ensures smooth motion without grease fittings, even in dusty, wet, or outdoor environments.

2. Hydraulic Linkages and Pivot Points

In construction and industrial machinery, hydraulic systems often include:

• Connecting rods

• Swing arms

• Lever mechanisms

At these pivot points, traditional rolling bearings fail quickly due to contamination and impact loads. Self-lubricating bronze bushings offer:

• Excellent wear resistance

• Stable performance under boundary lubrication

• Long service life with minimal maintenance

3. Heavy-Duty Hydraulic Control and Support Shafts

In large hydraulic assemblies, such bushings are also used in:

• Hydraulic valve control shafts

• Support pivots in hydraulic frames

• Rotating or oscillating control arms

The flange provides precise axial positioning, while the bronze body supports high contact pressure.

4. Hydraulic Attachments and Auxiliary Equipment

Typical examples include:

• Hydraulic grabs and clamps

• Hydraulic shears and cutters

• Outriggers and stabilizing systems

These applications demand high load capacity and resistance to shock, making flanged bronze bushings a reliable choice.
