Bushing for Clark C272.5-49

The bushing 9904101235 serves as a cylindrical interface designed for insertion into a housing to provide a dedicated bearing surface for a shaft, pin, or pivot point. By creating a controlled contact area, this component facilitates smooth rotational or oscillating movement while protecting the primary structural members of the machinery from direct metal-on-metal contact. It is designed to maintain proper alignment in high-stress pivot points, such as those found in crane boom articulations, outrigger assemblies, or steering systems.

This part is compatible with Clark C272.5-49 and Clark RT865 equipment, as well as Grove C272.5-49 and Grove RT865 models. It is engineered to fit specific bore dimensions to ensure a secure press fit, which is necessary to prevent movement within the housing during operation. Proper installation ensures that the load is distributed across the bushing surface, which helps preserve the integrity of the associated pins and shafts.

In heavy machinery, bushings act as sacrificial wear components in pivot systems. Their function is to manage the friction generated between moving parts, allowing for easier maintenance of articulation points. When these components reach their wear limits, replacing them prevents the development of excessive clearance and misalignment in the mechanical assembly.
