Bushing for Demag AC-395

The bushing 78080373 functions as a cylindrical sliding bearing within the assembly of heavy machinery. It is positioned between two moving parts to facilitate rotation or sliding motion while protecting the primary structural components such as pins, shafts, and housings from direct contact and wear. By providing a replaceable contact surface, this component helps maintain the alignment and operational integrity of the crane's articulated sections.

This part is compatible with the Demag AC-395, including the AC-395 Serie-76011 U150 model. It is engineered to meet the specific fitment requirements for these all-terrain cranes, ensuring proper clearance and movement within the machine's pivot points. Proper installation of this component is necessary to maintain the intended mechanical tolerances of the crane's joints.

In heavy equipment, bushings are used to support rotating or oscillating shafts. They act as a sacrificial interface that absorbs the friction generated during operation, which prevents damage to more expensive structural parts. Regular inspection and replacement of these components are necessary to prevent excessive play, vibration, or misalignment in the mechanical systems of the machine.
