Kiln Cart Bushings
Reduce waste. Prevent wear. Maximize uptime with Industrial Autolube systems engineered for reliability and accuracy.
Frequent Bushing Failure? Here's Why.
On average typical nylon kiln cart bushings require replacement every 2-3 months. Due to the high continuous working temperatures of a maximum 110-130ºC and high loads the nylon extrudes from the bushing, reducing the life due to oxidation of the plastic and poor lubrication.
The grease that is supposed to lubricate the bushings can also be a contributing factor to wear as it often attracts dust and degrades leaving binding agents behind in the bushing.
This creates a ripple effect through the machinery leading to a rebuild and possible replacement of the entire wheel, bushing and pin assembly.
Upgrade Your Bushings, Upgrade Your Uptime.
XPL Kiln Cart Bushings
ADCOMP™ XPL bushings offered by Industrial Autolube are made of a high-performance polymer that reduces friction, resists abrasive wear and provides lubrication. They are capable of operating at much higher continuous working temperature (up to 260ºC). The ADCOMP™ XPL will lower your total cost of ownership by lasting longer than nylon bushings, eliminate the use of grease and eliminate wheel/pin rebuild costs*.
*with a preventative maintenance monitoring program in place.
XBR Kiln Cart Bushings
Our bronze bushings are manufactured from high-quality bronze and embedded with oil-impregnated graphite plugs. The solid graphite acts as a self-lubricating material, significantly reducing friction and wear. Once installed, these bushings require no additional lubrication, offering long-term, maintenance-free performance even under demanding operating conditions.
Induction Hardened Chrome Pins
We can provide a wide variety of pin sizes of Induction Hardened Chrome Plated bars. This offering complements our premium offering (XPL Adcomp) for our kiln cart wheel bushings. We can provide any cut to length size, multiple cuttings, and/or random lengths with no minimum order.
