Oil-free Flange Bushing
Oil-free flange bushings, also known as self-lubricating flange bushings, are an extraordinary type of bearing designed to operate without the need for external lubrication. These special components, such as oil-free bronze flange bushings, have been carefully designed for use in high-load, low-speed applications. They are made from high-strength cast bronze produced by rotation, which is then embedded with a specially shaped graphite plug as a lubricant. This clever combination ensures smooth movement and reduces friction between bearing surfaces, resulting in increased efficiency and longer service life.
Advantages of Oil-free Flange Bushings
Oil-free flanged bushings offer several advantages over traditional lubricated bearings. These advantages include:
Elimination of the need for frequent maintenance tasks and lubrication, saving time and reducing maintenance costs.
Excellent self-lubricating properties, reducing friction and wear between mating surfaces.
Reduction of friction, minimizing energy loss and enhancing overall energy efficiency.

Flange Bushing Size Chart
A flange bushing, also known as a flange bearing or sleeve bearing, is a cylindrical part designed to provide support and reduce friction between rotating or moving components. This bushing consists of a cylindrical body with a flange at one end, which plays a role in accurate alignment and prevents axial movement.
Oil-free Flange Bushings VS Traditional Lubricated Bushings
Oilless flange bushings have changed the way the bushing industry operates, providing a number of benefits that contribute to improved performance, reliability and environmental sustainability. These bushings, which are self-lubricating, eliminate the need for external lubrication, resulting in low-maintenance operation and reduced downtime. By using a solid lubricant, these bushings ensure smooth movement, reduce friction and increase wear resistance, thereby extending the service life of the bushing and related components.
Compared to traditional bushings that use lubricants, oilless flange bushings offer a more environmentally friendly solution by eliminating the use of harmful lubricants and reducing the risk of contamination. They also have excellent load-bearing capabilities and are suitable for a wide range of applications, including in heavy industry.
