What are Simple Car Suspension Bushings, or Bushes?
SAB Bushes (bushings) are a simple bonded bush with an inner tube. AVMR design, Engineer and manufacture car suspension bushings for many applications - many of which do not involve a vehicle, but that is where we started using them many decades ago. Common alternative uses include vibrating conveyors, stabilising or control arms, link arms for equipment or caterpillar tracks. The list is long.
With a bonded inner tube and no outer metal tube, a SAB is designed to fit into a machined housing. An interference fit provides useful pre-compression. This construction is intended for limited axial or torsional/rotational loads as the outer tube will slip after a point. The point it will slip at depends on the level of
compression.
The outer rubber element is designed to be a compression fit into an outer housing. The level of interference is typically 0.25mm (dia) for a circa 6mm outer housing and up to 2mm for a circa 70mm dia outer housing. Higher levels of interference are comfortably possible (we have seen applications with 4 times these levels where higher pre-compression was required).
Please note: The additional ridges on the SAB bush in the photo are not normally there.
As ever, if you have any questions drop us a line.
