du bearing material
(OP)
hello - i have a situation w/ a machine that i could use some help w/ - we have a rotating nut that is made of ductile iron that is binding in a steel bore which it sits in - our manufacturing facility machined the bore to the wrong finish & no lube was provided for the nut or bore - is there such a strip material on the same lines of garlocks "du" bushing material that can be glued into the existing bore - to re-machine the bore is a nightmare along w/ dis-assembly of the parts - - the nut is approx. 7" dia - any info would be greatly appreciated - thank you





RE: du bearing material
If you only glue something into the bore how do you know it won't spin when you try to machine it? or even worse come loose during service.
Think you might be better biting the bullet and re-machine/

Neither surface may be any good now for running on bushing material. Re-machining of both may have to be done to clean up the surfaces.

Or just strips of uhmw. It doesn't matter which surface slides, just get some slippery material between the cast iron and steel surfaces.
