Bushing for Demag AC80-1

The bushing with part number 400 577 12 is a cylindrical component engineered for the Demag AC80-1 mobile crane. It is installed into a housing to provide a bearing surface between a pin or shaft and the surrounding assembly. This component is used in various pivot points and articulation points throughout the crane, including the boom, outrigger, and suspension systems, to facilitate smooth mechanical movement.

This part is compatible with the Demag AC80-1 model. It is manufactured by Demag to meet the specific dimensional requirements of these crane assemblies. By providing a controlled interface between moving parts, it helps manage the forces transmitted through the machine's structural joints.

In heavy machinery, bushings act as replaceable wear surfaces that protect more expensive structural components from direct contact and friction. They are essential for maintaining the alignment and operational precision of moving linkages. By serving as a bearing point, the bushing ensures that rotational or oscillating forces are distributed effectively across the joint, which is necessary for the stability and functionality of the crane's various systems.
