Graphite Bushings
Graphite bushings are vibration isolators or energy-damping components made from graphite materials. Graphite could be impregnated with other materials for better performance.
East Carbon graphite bushes are designed to reduce noise or vibration between two interfacing surfaces. Additionally, they improve efficiency while reducing parts wear due to friction. For years now, graphite has remained a popular material in bush and bearing manufacturing due to superior performance and reliability.

Why Choose Graphite Bush
Most mechanically interfacing parts are prone to wear, excessive heating, and noise. You will find graphite to be a perfect material that offers many benefits as bushings:
- Self-lubricating reduces possible wear between two parts that are in contact due to the extreme friction coefficient
- As an isotropic material with a micro-sphere structure, it exhibits high vibration absorption capability
- High-temperature resistance with the ability to withstand any thermal shock due to friction
- Durable with high load-bearing capacity
- Naturally inert to most chemicals
Types of Bushings made from Graphite
In most cases, we classify most bushings in the market depending on material type. Therefore, we may have bushings made from graphite material or alongside other elements. For instance, you may add bronze or brass.
Some common types of bushings include:
- Sintered brass graphite bushing – These bushing have sintered brass as a key element alongside graphite.
- Sleeve carbon graphite bush – A part from graphite as the primary material for the bushing, they have sleeve carbon which also helps to reduce friction.
- Bronze graphite bushing – There is bronze as a major compound in the bushing.
- Graphite copper bushing – The bushing has copper as a major element
Remember, whichever compound you add will affect the graphite bush price.
At East Carbon, we start choosing high-quality graphite material which we mix with special additives. The additives in graphite depend on where you intend to use the bushing.
The mixture of graphite and other additives is heated and then extruded to form a specified profile. Usually, the graphite bush profile may vary in terms of wall profile, hollow interior depths, etc. At the same time, the graphite bushings impregnated with other additives such as resigns or linseed oil to smoothen the surface.
After manufacturing East Carbon graphite bush, they are subjected to quality testing before packaging.
Generally, graphite bushing improves efficiency, and reduces vibration and noise. Therefore, you can use a bushing made from graphite for any mechanical interface parts that experience rotary or linear motions.
Machine Parts
For mating machine parts, graphite bushes will eliminate possible vibrations, parts wear, and overheating. They will guarantee noiseless operation while improving efficiency. You can install these bushings on virtually all machines from motor systems, and gear to drilling systems.
Alternative to Lubricating Oil or Grease
There are certain applications where using lubricating oil or grease may cause contamination. Therefore, you need a graphite bush with self-lubricating capability to prevent possible friction. Additionally, bushings made from graphite can withstand very high temperatures.
Other Industries
Many industries such as electrical, pharmaceutical, mining, automotive, aerospace, food processing to petroleum industries use graphite bushes in many machine parts and components.
