FAQ

The 'BM' designation refers to the material composition of the bushing. It typically indicates a metal-polymer composite bearing, consisting of a steel backing, a sintered porous bronze layer, and a top layer of PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) for low friction, self-lubricating properties.

While this is a self-lubricating or 'dry' bearing designed for maintenance-free operation, it can also be used with external lubrication. Applying grease or oil can help dissipate heat and further extend the service life in certain high-demand applications.

This size of bearing is commonly used in a wide range of industrial and automotive applications. Examples include pivot points in hydraulic cylinders, suspension systems, agricultural machinery joints, conveyor systems, and other rotating or oscillating low-speed, high-load scenarios where minimal maintenance is desired.
