Flanged Bronze Bushing for Mining & Heavy Equipment

A flanged bronze bushing combines a cylindrical bearing sleeve with an integrated flange, so one component handles radial support and axial location at the same time. In mining and heavy equipment this often simplifies the housing, removes a separate thrust washer, and keeps the shaft positively located under load. DASHAN casts and machines flanged bushings to your drawing or a worn sample, matching the original alloy where a replacement part is needed.

Design and materials

Flanged bushings are usually specified in tin bronze and leaded tin bronze such as C93200 (SAE 660) for moderate loads and general running conditions, or C93700 where dusty and lightly abrasive service is expected. Where higher strength and impact resistance are required, aluminum bronze C95400 and manganese bronze C86300 are common choices. The flange diameter, thickness, bore, and oil groove or lubrication holes are all made to your drawing, so the part fits the existing housing without modification.

• Integrated flange for axial location and thrust faces
• Bore, flange OD, length, and oil grooves machined to drawing
• Plain, grooved, or graphite-plugged configurations
• OEM replacement and reverse-engineered copies from a worn sample

Typical applications

Flanged bronze bushings are widely used in crushers, conveyors, pumps, and construction machinery where a shaft must be located axially as well as supported radially. Typical positions include pivot points, eccentric shafts, and drive ends of rotating assemblies. You can see related parts in our bronze bushing range and how they are applied in mining equipment.

Manufacturing and inspection

We cast with centrifugal, sand, or metal mold processes depending on size and quantity, then machine in-house on CNC equipment. Each batch is checked for chemical composition with a spectrometer and for hardness in our own laboratory before shipment.
