The advantages of split copper bushings are as follows:

Easy to install and dismantle:

In the installation process of mechanical equipment, when space is limited or there are other parts blocking one end of the shaft, the split copper bushing can be installed in parts, and does not need to be completely passed through from one end of the shaft to be installed as in the case of one-piece copper bushing, which reduces the difficulty of the installation and the requirements for the installation space.

In maintenance and replacement, the split bushing can be easily disassembled and the worn part can be replaced separately without removing the whole bushing from the equipment, which saves time and labor cost. For example, the copper bushing in some large machinery and equipment can be replaced by maintenance personnel without disassembling a large number of other parts after adopting the split design.

Strong applicability:

It can be better adapted to shafts of different shapes and sizes. For some irregularly shaped shafts, the split bushing can be flexibly adjusted and installed according to the shape of the shaft, which improves the matching precision and sealing of the bushing and the shaft.

It can meet the requirements of some special working conditions. For example, in high temperature, high pressure, high speed and other severe working conditions, split copper bushings can improve its wear resistance, corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance and other properties by choosing different materials and structural design, so as to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.

Save material and cost:

In the manufacturing process, the split copper bushing can choose different materials and manufacturing processes according to the needs, for some parts that do not require high strength and high wear resistance, lower-priced materials can be used, thus reducing the manufacturing cost.

When a part of the copper bushing is worn or damaged, only the damaged part needs to be replaced instead of the whole bushing, which reduces the waste of material and cost.

Improve the reliability of the equipment:

The structural design of the split copper bushing can make the copper bushing better withstand load and vibration during the working process, which reduces the deformation and damage of the bushing and improves the reliability and service life of the equipment3.

For some critical equipment, the maintainability and easy replacement of split copper bushings can reduce equipment downtime and maintenance costs, and improve equipment productivity and economic efficiency.
