Brass bushing design
Brass bushing design
(OP)
I want to design two brass bushing so I need to know the Length inner diameter and outer diameter.
Shaft sizes are
1. 90mm
2. 80mm
What calculation I need to do?

RE: Brass bushing design
I want to design a shaft. I need it to be about 3 feet long. What material should I make it out of?
If you answer my question, I will answer yours.

I'd base my decision, in part, on the housing dimensions and COTS (commercial off the shelf ) bushings.
I'd choose a material on rpm and lubrication conditions and expected life. There // may // be a hybrid metallic material (Teflon filled bronze, etc) that would yield good life in marginal lubrication conditions.
There is a kg ( 2.2 pounds) of basic useful bushing/bearing design material in typical machine design text books.
Stuff like acceptable unit loads for different bearing materials (which will help arrive at an adequate bearing length, shaft design (strength, deflection, critical speeds, machinability for including driving/driven features and a LOT more).
