Bronze bush

Babbited, its characteristics would change.

I thought Babbited was a cruel cut, named after that American caught playing away & his courting tackle removed.

Without the pins that go in the bush, it may be difficult to make things fit well. Given the wear in the bush, it would be wise to check that the pin is not also worn, or similarly out of round. A bush which is sized to, and has to pass over, the unworn part of the pin will be loose on a worn part.

Any sloppiness in the connection is going to lead to premature failure. That sloppines could be between the pin and ID of the bush or the OD of the bush and the hole. Hence the bushes would normally go in the link with a slight press fit and then be bored insitu on a mill.

A simple 50 ID 60 OD item is a bit risky if anything other than a short term fix is required.

You are spot on. The pin is well hammered. I have put it in a four jaw and got it back to round bit I am also making a new pin. I will try and photo it all when finished but i only got the second slug of Bronze at 6pm and I feel under the weather today..
It is actually a short term fix to get a bender working before xmas. My son has a meeting to discuss pay and grades, on Tuesday as they have asked him to put his name on the O Licence they just got approved for.
Getting this machine up and running is another arrow in his bow as they have a long term contract to supply the product this machine produces.

While it is in bits, draw up the link, bushes and pins. Then you could make a complete spare set at your leisure for next time it wears out or starts to wear out and minimum downtime.

Trace in on cardboard for now.

I am going to get their detailer to draw it up so I can 3D print it. Just for kicks and Giggles)

Once you have a CAD file, anything is possible.

I finished and got a rough diagram now. That was one mega long weekend. Lol

What grease will you tell the machine's owner to use in the morning each day the machine is to be operated . Can you 3D print a notice indicating such and attach it to the machine?

Lol my son is maintenance manager and he is in the process of creating a maintenance schedule for all the machines. I am not sure what the "pc" version of you pay peanuts you get monkeys.

That looks like it should be sub 10 minutes to model and detail up on paper.
