Cheaper bushing material
(OP)
Have supplier who complains about cost of C360 brass I specify for wheel bushing, what is cheaper material that will do this function too?
Should I have Aluminum or Cast Steel bushing with stainless shaft?
Thanks for your ideas,
Alex

Check out the IGUS brand bushings....they are fairly inexpensive and offer good performance.

I looked to IGUS, they only make 6mm L standard, so Im using 5x for each wheel which is more money than the brass piece I think.
Thanks still,
Alex

Your 316 is cold finished, right? If it is soft you may have a lot of trouble getting good bearing life.
