Polyurethane Bushings
A small part with many functions – damping, bearing, isolation and guidance are the most important. Because of these multiple functions we did pay a special attention on polyurethane bushings. The result is a brand new design of bushings with many innovations and specialties.

Still the major usage of the bushings is in leaf spring eyes. It is the bearing of the leaf spring. A solid bushing has to guide the spring and the axle to guarantee a correct directional stability. But the bushings must not be too hard. They have to isolate noise between axle and frame. Bushings move, so they have to be greased. For each function we did develop the best possible solution. The result is a polyurethane bushing which you cannot compare to a simple rubber bushing – which you even cannot compare to a standard poly bushing. The raw material is a extreme resistant polyurethane which is produced exactly following our specifications and is processed in our new molds. See the details of the bushings in the text under the pictures.

Detail 1
shows the inner side of a bushing. Pocket knurling gives grease the possibility to settle for an optimal lubrication. (Please use always a molybdenum grease)

Detail 2
grease can settle down in a channel around the inner bore for a good lubrication, to protect the bore against dirt and to prevent noise. (The end of the nasty spring squeaking)

Detail 3
In special tangential grooves also is grease which is very important at the free to move side of the shackle.
The shackle swings easily, the spring does not buck, comfort and spring action become better.

Detail 4
Retention lips at the end of the inner bores avoid the invasion of dirt and the leave of grease from the inner side.

Besides the use in leaf spring eyes we will use these new bushings as well in arms and brackets where we can use the advantage of this new construction in the same way.
