Hillman Nylon Flanged Bushing 58068 1/4 White 30 Pack Industrial

Description

Product Overview

The Hillman 58068 nylon flanged bushing is engineered to meet the demands of industrial and scientific environments where a lightweight, corrosion‑resistant bearing is essential. Constructed from high‑quality nylon, this plain bearing delivers a low‑friction surface that reduces wear and extends the life of rotating or sliding components. Its flanged design provides a secure, self‑centering fit that simplifies installation and eliminates the need for additional retaining hardware. With an outside diameter of 0.31 inches and a cutting diameter of 0.25 inches, the bushing is perfectly sized for 1/4‑inch screw applications, offering a versatile solution for a wide range of machinery, fixtures, and prototypes. The bright white finish not only enhances visibility during assembly but also signals the use of a non‑metallic, non‑conductive material that resists chemicals, moisture, and temperature fluctuations.

Usage

Designed for light‑duty applications, this nylon flanged bushing excels in situations where metal strength is not a prerequisite. Typical use cases include mounting brackets, adjustable fixtures, and low‑speed gear assemblies where noise reduction and smooth operation are priorities. The bushing’s non‑metallic composition makes it ideal for environments that demand electrical insulation, such as electronic enclosures, control panels, and instrumentation housings. Additionally, its resistance to grease and common lubricants ensures reliable performance without the need for frequent maintenance. Whether you are assembling a custom test rig, retrofitting an existing machine, or building a prototype for research and development, the Hillman 58068 bushing offers a cost‑effective, dependable solution that integrates seamlessly with standard hardware.
