BUSHING ROD
The bushings are the parts that collect the high wear between the two friction surfaces and at the same time increase the material life and engine efficiency by choosing among the materials that provide lubricity between the surfaces. The highest yield material in this subject has been bronze and has found use in many places. Apart from this, bushes can be produced as steel and metal bushings.
The metal bushing is a special bushing whose exterior is made of steel and inside an extremely soft metal. It is used in gaseous working environments and in the presence of red metals to avoid the risk of high wear after oxidation.
Steel bushings take its name from the steel material from which it is manufactured. It is a very popular material, since the occurrence of winding is very rare and it is long lasting because it has a low coefficient of wear.
It is the first part after the piston that meets the forces caused by combustion while also protecting the properties and life of the piston and pin by reducing wear on the piston. It is important in transferring mechanical energy to other organs and a significant decrease in engine traction occurs in taking damage of this part.
In addition, bushings are used in the connecting rod, balance shaft and camshaft as well as on the piston for similar reasons.
