Installation/Set-Up Challenges for Bronze Bushings

When using bronze bushings, some common installation or setup challenges may include:

1. Proper Sizing: Ensuring that the bronze bushing is the correct size for the application and fits securely into the housing without any gaps.

2. Proper Lubrication: Bronze bushings require lubrication to reduce friction and wear. Ensuring proper lubrication is essential for the longevity of the bushing.

3. Alignment: Proper alignment of the bushing with the shaft is crucial to prevent premature wear and ensure smooth operation.

4. Installation Tools: Using the correct tools and techniques for installation, such as press fitting or using a bushing driver, to avoid damaging the bushing during installation.

5. Surface Finish: Ensuring that the mating surfaces are clean and free of burrs or rough spots to prevent damage to the bushing during installation.

By addressing these challenges during installation, you can ensure the effective performance and longevity of bronze bushings in your application.
