Flanged bushing for American Crane 9310

The flanged bushing, part number 1101994, acts as a sliding bearing within the American Crane 9310 crawler crane. This component is engineered to interface between two moving parts, such as a pin or shaft, and its housing. The integrated flange ensures the bushing remains securely positioned, preventing axial displacement while providing an additional support surface for the assembly. It is utilized in various pivot points throughout the crane, including boom joints, hydraulic cylinder mounts, and undercarriage assemblies, where it facilitates controlled movement and manages radial and axial loads.

This component is specifically designed for the American Crane 9310. Proper installation of this bushing helps maintain the alignment of moving assemblies and prevents excessive clearance or play in critical pivot points. By providing a stable interface for rotating or oscillating shafts, it supports the mechanical integrity of the machine's articulation points.

In heavy machinery, flanged bushings are commonly used to reduce friction between rotating or sliding surfaces. They provide a replaceable wear surface that protects more expensive structural components from direct contact, ensuring smooth operation within the system.
