DU Bushes and Thrust Washers
DU Bushes and Thrust Washers are composite self-lubricating components designed to provide maintenance-free performance in a variety of mechanical systems. These components are widely used in hydraulic and pneumatic systems, automotive suspension, and industrial machinery, where low friction, high load capacity, and long service life are critical. DU Bushes and Thrust Washers help reduce wear and extend the life of the assembly by providing a smooth, low-friction interface between moving parts.
Available Variations:
Standard DU Bushes: Available in cylindrical, flanged, and other shapes to fit different mounting configurations.
Thrust Washers: Available in flat or grooved designs to accommodate various load distribution requirements.
Custom Dimensions: Offered in custom sizes and thicknesses to meet specific application needs.
