Fibre-lube bushings from Daemar have low friction and resist corrosion

The three types of fibre-lube bushings available from Daemar

For more than four decades, Daemar Inc. has been a leading Canadian provider of essential components to the manufacturing market, serving a variety of sectors. The company’s diverse range of products includes seals, retaining rings, springs, caps, plugs, shim rolls, and much more.

Daemar also supplies fibre-lube composite bushings that work best in long-term, highly-loaded applications. These bushings allow true self-lubrication and have several unique benefits, including low friction values and resistance to corrosion.

A wealth of applications

Daemar distributes three main lines of fibre-lube bushings in the Canadian marketplace:

• CJ/FCJ series – These rugged bushings are best suited for non-lubricated, high-load applications in many different climates and operating environments. They exhibit a high load capacity similar to those of bronze, powdered metal, and steel; they also have a longer life with less wear, minus the cost of lubrication. CJ/FCJ bushings can also tolerate mild shaft realignment without stressing the ends too much, while absorbing shocks.
  Applications: CJ bushings are typically used in backhoes, front-end loaders, hitches, graders, mining equipment, vending machines, and nuclear plants. FCJ bushings are ideal for material-handling equipment, packaging machinery, farm implements, marine pivots, robotics, business machines, and amusement-park rides.
• MRP series – MRP bushings are built to perform according to the demands of contemporary design engineers who want bushings with extremely long life cycles and the strength for very strenuous applications. The composite bearing materials can last more than 1.6 million cycles with less than 0.005 of an inch of wear.
  Applications: MRP fibre-lube bushings are ideal for material-handling equipment, high-duty cranes, earth-moving equipment, construction equipment, agriculture equipment, and food-processing systems.
• HT series – This high-load, low-RPM bushing is made for applications that require self-lubrication, but involve temperatures too high for conventional composite bushings. HT bushings are built to withstand exposure to temperatures up to 230 degrees Celsius.
  Applications: HT bushings are recommended for applications involving extremely high temperatures, but also ones in which their strength is require to resist thermal expansion. Snowmobile clutches are a prime example, as their speeds tend to accelerate in microseconds.
