Bronze, Oil-Lite and flanged bushings

Sleeve bushings are simple, quiet bearings for slow and oscillating shafts. Oil-impregnated (sintered bronze) bushings lubricate themselves; cast bronze handles heavier loads; flanged bushings also take thrust. Send inside diameter, outside diameter and length, or a drawing for a made-to-print part.
