A pneumatic bushing is a component in pneumatic systems that provides a durable, stable surface and reduces friction between moving parts. This helps extend the system’s lifespan and ensures smooth movement.

Pneumatic bushings are commonly made from materials such as bronze, steel, stainless steel, and polymers. The choice of material depends on factors such as pressure, temperature, and the level of expected wear in the system.

The selection depends on the system’s specific requirements, including:

Operating temperature and pressure.
Type of motion (linear or rotational).
Material compatibility for optimal performance and minimal maintenance.

Signs that a bushing needs replacement include: Increased friction. Unusual noises or vibrations. Visible wear or deformation.

Regular inspection helps detect wear early and extends the system’s lifespan.
