MTU Bushing, Seawater Cooler X50620400001

Description

The Bushingallows a component to turn freelyand operate with the least interference.

HOW IT WORKS

Bushings do not have roller or needles like bearings but operate off of clearance and lubrication to allow a component to rotate. The smooth surface of the bushing reduces friction, allowing the component to turn easily.

WHY IT MATTERS

The bushing provides smooth, friction-free operation of the components. An effective bushing reduces the chances of component damage due to malfunction.
