These bushings withstand enormous torsional and radial loads and at the same time do not require regular lubrication. They are therefore completely maintenance-free. They have an innovative, additional sliding layer that enables all torsion angles that occur, while withstanding the high load profiles of these special applications. A washer element limits the maximum radial, axial and cardanic movement to prevent harm to the leaf springs.
The leaf spring bushings require the same installation space and are the same weight compared to conventional lubricated bronze bearings, while also providing the same NVH performance. Therefore, they provide significant cost and maintenance advantages without compromising other performance criteria.
