Glacier bushes are plain bearing sleeves used to support rotating or sliding shafts, available in standard (solid material) or lined (metal-backed with low-friction liner) designs. Known for their durability and low-maintenance performance, they are ideal for reducing friction and wear in industrial, automotive, agricultural, and construction applications—especially where space is limited or lubrication is difficult. Finer Power Transmissions stocks a full range of Glacier bushes engineered for durability and industrial performance.
Standard Glacier Bushes
Standard Glacier bushes are made from solid materials like bronze or polymer composites and are suited for general-purpose applications where moderate loads and speeds are expected, often requiring lubrication unless self-lubricating materials are used.
Lined Glacier Bushes
Lined Glacier bushes, on the other hand, feature a metal backing with a bonded low-friction liner such as PTFE, offering superior wear resistance and enabling maintenance-free or dry-running performance in high-load or hard-to-access environments.
