Rexnord friction bushings are filament bearings that press into a housing and create a sliding surface for a rotating shaft. They suit replacements where a plain, sturdy, low-maintenance bearing is preferred, or where radial space is tight. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this line and can help you match the bushing to your shaft diameter and load.
Part numbers for these Rexnord bushings use numeric blocks separated by hyphens. The first block shows the family or construction type; the remaining blocks cover dimensions and mounting variants. For instance, 701-60040-160 and 701-60048-192 share the 701 prefix but have different middle digits that set the size. In 701-66004-024 and 701-66006-028, the second block changes, pointing to different capacities. To read any reference correctly, check the manufacturer's table or send the full part number to our team.
Typical applications include conveyors, elevators, mills, mixers, and food and beverage machinery, where shafts turn at moderate speeds under steady loads. They also appear in pumps, fans, and transmission systems. Industries such as food processing, chemical, cement, and material handling rely on them because they resist wear and handle dusty or humid conditions.
When selecting a friction bushing, consider shaft diameter, radial load, and lubrication conditions. These filament bearings generally need initial lubrication and may run with retained lubricant. Install by pressure or thermal fit and check alignment to prevent uneven wear. In contaminated environments, evaluate complementary seals or radial shaft seals. The clearance between shaft and bushing also affects performance and service life.
Rexnord is a well-known name in power transmission and material handling components. Its friction bushings can be interchanged with equivalents from other brands, but equivalence depends on exact dimensions and material. A similar part number is not enough: compare inner diameter, outer diameter, length, and load type. MR Industrial Accessories LLC helps you find a compatible alternative or, if none exists, assess a special manufacturing option.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between a friction bushing and a bearing?
- A friction bushing relies on direct sliding between surfaces, with no rolling elements. It is simpler, quieter, and more tolerant of contamination, though it has higher friction. A bearing uses balls or rollers and supports higher speed. The choice depends on load, speed, and available maintenance.
- How do I identify the Rexnord bushing part number I need?
- Measure the shaft diameter, housing diameter, and bushing width. With those measurements and the part number on the equipment, we can pinpoint the exact reference. If you lack the part number, send the measurements via WhatsApp and we will help you find it.
- Do Rexnord bushings require lubrication?
- It depends on the type. Many friction bushings need initial or continuous lubrication to reduce wear. Others incorporate self-lubricating material. Follow the manufacturer's recommendation for each model. If unsure, ask us on WhatsApp and we will advise for your application.
