Bushing
A bushing is a component, usually hollow and cylindrical in shape, which can perform various mechanical functions within an assembly. Depending on the design, it is used, for example, to bear, guide, position, space or support components.
At MN Kaltformteile, various bushing and sleeve geometries are manufactured using cold forming. These include, amongst others, bearing bushes, flanged bushes, spacer sleeves and support sleeves.
Bushings for various component functions
Depending on their design, bushings perform various tasks within an assembly. They can guide or support moving components, create defined spaces, position components or support areas subject to mechanical loads.
Bearing sleeves are used in particular for guiding and supporting moving components. Flanged sleeves additionally feature a protruding flange, which can be used, for example, as an axial stop for precise positioning. Spacer sleeves establish a defined distance between components, whilst support sleeves are primarily used to provide mechanical support for stressed areas of components.
MN Kaltformteile manufactures bushings and sleeves by cold forming for various technical applications and assemblies.
