Usage
Designed for versatility, this nylon flanged bushing excels in environments where metal components could introduce unwanted conductivity or excessive weight. It is particularly well‑suited for use in power transmission equipment, pneumatic and hydraulic systems, and any machinery that requires a low‑friction interface between rotating shafts and stationary housings. The non‑metallic nature of the bushing makes it an excellent choice for applications involving corrosive chemicals, moisture, or dust, as the nylon material resists degradation and maintains dimensional stability over time. Maintenance technicians appreciate the flag terminal feature, which allows for quick visual verification of proper orientation and secure attachment during installation or replacement procedures. Whether you are retrofitting an existing system or building a new assembly, the Hillman Group nylon bushing provides a reliable, cost‑effective solution that meets industry standards for performance and safety.

FAQ
What materials can the nylon bushing replace?
The nylon flanged bushing is designed to replace metal bushings in applications where conductivity, weight, or corrosion resistance are concerns. It works well in environments with chemicals, moisture, or dust, offering a non‑metallic alternative that maintains dimensional stability.
How do I install the flag terminal correctly?
Begin by aligning the flag terminal with the designated mounting slot on your equipment. Insert the bushing so that the flanged edge sits flush against the housing surface. Press the flag into the slot until it clicks securely, confirming proper orientation. This method ensures a tight fit and reduces the chance of movement during operation.
Is the bushing suitable for high‑speed applications?
Yes. The low‑friction properties of nylon, combined with the precise tolerances of the 0.556 O.D. dimension, make the bushing appropriate for high‑speed rotations. However, it is advisable to verify that the operating temperature and load conditions fall within the material’s specified limits to ensure optimal performance.
Can I use this bushing in pneumatic systems?
Absolutely. The nylon material is compatible with many pneumatic fluids and does not degrade when exposed to compressed air or common lubricants. Its non‑metallic nature also prevents galvanic corrosion, making it a reliable choice for pneumatic valve assemblies and actuators.
What warranty does Hillman Group provide?
The Hillman Group offers a standard limited warranty that covers material defects and workmanship for a specified period after purchase. For detailed warranty terms and to initiate a claim, contact Hillman Group’s customer service team, which is available to assist with any product‑related concerns.
