Polyurethane bushing

Item No. PP-015

Where two components pivot, slide, or rotate against each other, something has to sit between them. If metal bears on metal, the joint wears fast, transmits vibration, and eventually fails. Our PU bushings are engineered to be that separating layer — absorbing impact, damping vibration, and holding moving parts in controlled alignment without cracking, flattening, or crumbling under load.

Cast from premium polyurethane, these bushings deliver what rubber simply cannot: higher stiffness, dramatically better wear resistance, and reliable performance in oil-soaked, abrasive, or high-cycle environments. The payoff is less structural fatigue, quieter operation, and a service life measured in years rather than months.

Key Features

Cast polyurethane construction – durable, elastic, and dimensionally stable

Higher stiffness than rubber – better load-bearing and motion control

Superior wear resistance – outlasts rubber in high-friction pivot joints

Excellent tear & abrasion resistance – withstands repeated cycling and edge loading

Effective vibration & impact damping – cushions shock between moving parts

Oil & chemical resistant – performs in oily and contaminated environments

Wide hardness range – 60 Shore A to 60 Shore D to suit different applications

Bonded metal sleeves optional – for secure mounting and precise fitment

Custom casting available – any size, shape, hardness, and color

Long service life – reduces replacement frequency and downtime

Advantages

Higher Stiffness & Load Capacity – Polyurethane supports heavier loads with less deflection than rubber, improving alignment and handling precision in suspension and linkage applications.

Superior Wear Resistance – PU outlasts rubber by 2 to 5 times in high-friction environments, dramatically reducing replacement frequency and maintenance costs.

Excellent Tear & Abrasion Resistance – Resists cutting, chunking, and edge wear that quickly destroy rubber bushings in demanding applications.

Better Motion Control – Limits unwanted play and deflection while still absorbing vibration, delivering tighter, more predictable performance.

Applications

Vehicle suspension – control arms, sway bars, trailing arms, leaf springs

Steering systems – rack mounts, steering linkages, column isolators

Industrial machinery – pivot points, hinge joints, linkage bushings

Heavy equipment – excavators, loaders, cranes, and mining machinery

Agricultural equipment – tractor linkages, implement pivots, hitch bushings

Standard package for rubber molded parts
Standard package for rubber molded parts

Standard: Goods are typically supplied in about 20-25kg/carton.

Complete Pallet Preparation for rubber molded parts
Complete Pallet Preparation for rubber molded parts

Standardized Pallets: Goods are stacked on heat-treated (ISPM 15) or plastic pallets, optimized for forklift handling. Rigid Corner Protectors: High-impact cardboard corner guards are applied to the full height of the stack. This prevents the straps from cutting into the rubber and maintains the vertical integrity of the pallet.

What is the difference between polyurethane and rubber bushings?

Polyurethane offers higher stiffness, significantly better wear and tear resistance, and superior load capacity. Rubber is softer and better at isolating high-frequency vibration. PU is preferred for high-load, high-friction applications.

What hardness range is available?

We offer polyurethane bushings from 60 Shore A (flexible) to 60 Shore D (rigid), allowing precise tuning for each application.

Can polyurethane bushings be used in automotive suspension?

Yes. They are widely used in control arms, sway bars, and trailing arms, offering improved handling precision and durability over rubber.

Do polyurethane bushings increase noise and vibration?

PU transmits slightly more high-frequency vibration than soft rubber, but absorbs impact and low-frequency vibration effectively. Hardness selection determines the balance between control and comfort.
