Bushing for Grove 60T GR-22

The bushing 9049101647 serves as a sliding bearing within the mechanical assemblies of Grove cranes. It is installed in pivot points, linkages, and connection areas to manage the interface between moving parts, such as pins and shafts. By providing a controlled surface for rotation or linear motion, the component helps maintain alignment and manages the distribution of loads across the crane structure.

This part is compatible with Grove 60T GR-22 and RT-58-B rough-terrain crane models. It is engineered to fit specific mechanical configurations, including units identified by serial number 44972. The bushing is a critical component in the steering, suspension, and boom systems where precise movement is required for crane operation.

In heavy machinery, bushings act as replaceable interfaces that protect more expensive structural components from direct friction and wear. They are positioned in joints to allow for the articulation of the boom or the movement of steering linkages. Regular replacement of these parts is necessary to eliminate excessive play in the joints, ensuring that the machine maintains its intended operational geometry and stability during lifting or maneuvering tasks.
