Bushing for Hitachi 480

The component with part number 4216361 functions as a mechanical bushing within the Hitachi 480 excavator. It acts as a sliding bearing, providing a support surface for pins, shafts, or joints to facilitate smooth rotation and sliding motion between connected parts. By maintaining precise alignment at pivot points, this component helps manage the mechanical interaction between structural elements during operation.

This part is compatible with the Hitachi 480 excavator. It is installed in various pivot points throughout the machine, including the boom, arm, bucket linkages, and chassis joints, where it supports operational loads. The component is engineered to fit these specific assemblies to assist in the distribution of forces across the joint.

In heavy machinery, bushings serve as the interface between moving parts to prevent direct metal-to-metal contact. They are installed in high-stress areas where components rotate or oscillate. By providing a controlled surface for movement, they allow for the articulation of hydraulic attachments and structural frames. Regular inspection of these components is standard practice to ensure that joint clearances remain within the specified operational tolerances.
