Manufacturing of metal bushings

At Lemec, we offer a wide range of metal bushings for virtually any industrial application.

Steel bushings

Steel bushings are ideal for applications requiring high strength and durability.

Stainless steel bushings

We manufacture stainless steel bushings that offer excellent corrosion resistance and are perfect for environments where steel can degrade.

Aluminum bushings

We produce light but robust aluminum bushings, suitable for applications where weight is a crucial factor.

Brass bushings

We offer brass bushings that combine corrosion resistance and an aesthetic appearance, perfect for special applications.

Production of bushings by stamping

Cold heading is our main technique for the manufacture of bushings in long series, guaranteeing precision and consistency. This process allows us to offer the best value for money.

Manufacturing of bushings by bar turning

For smaller series, we employ screw machining, ensuring precise details and customized specifications for each project.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a metal bushing and in which applications is it used?
A metal bushing is a cylindrical component that acts as a guide, support, or friction element between moving parts. It is used in automotive, hydraulics, industrial machinery, and precision equipment because it reduces wear, absorbs vibrations, and facilitates assembly.

What differentiates a bushing manufacturer from a simple distributor?
A distributor supplies standard references, while a bushing manufacturer designs and produces according to customer drawings, adjusting dimensions, tolerances, and finishes to the specific application. The result is greater reliability and an exact fit for the service conditions.

What options for “special bushings” can be manufactured to specification?
Based on customer specifications, special bushings can be manufactured with:

• Customized geometries (with collar/flange, chamfers, radii, grooves for retaining rings).
• Additional operations (axial/radial slots, radial holes, countersinks).
• Critical tolerances on inner/outer diameters and concentricity control.
• Treatments and finishes adapted to the application (e.g., anti-corrosion).

All focused on producing bushings that fit precisely into the mechanical assembly.

How does the geometry of a bushing affect its performance?
The inner diameter, wall thickness, length, and chamfers determine its capacity to withstand load, distribute stresses, and ease assembly. An optimized geometry reduces deformations, improves heat dissipation, and extends service life.

What should a drawing include to quote the manufacturing of metal bushings?
To speed up quotation and ensure precision:

• Material and standards (e.g., stainless steel, bronze, etc.).
• Key dimensions: inner/outer diameter, length, and tolerances (e.g., H7, js).
• Quality specifications: concentricity, surface roughness (Ra), straightness, hardness.
• Geometric details: chamfers, radii, grooves, slots, holes.
• Heat/surface treatments (if applicable), series volume, and delivery plan.
