Bear the Wear and Tear with Versatile, Durable Plastic Flange Bushing

All sorts of machines need bearings, especially if said they have parts that rotate or pivot. Basically, the more moving parts there are, the more bearings are needed. While it does sound like these tools are always made of metal, that's not always the case. Manufacturers will be glad to know that there are sturdy plastic flange bushing parts, which are more lightweight and versatile. For the uninitiated, bearing refers to any machine element that restrains motion between two joined parts. This is designed to reduce the instances of friction, thereby decreasing wear and improving performance; for example, your car's engine has plenty of these components that help it perform at top efficiency. Bushings are a type of bearing, and they're usually used for rotary applications such as for turbines, fans, and so on.
