Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What materials do you commonly use for motorcycle bushings?
We typically utilize high-performance materials such as copper alloys (e.g., bronze), specialized engineering plastics, or bimetallic materials, depending on the required load, speed, temperature, and specific application (e.g., resistance to dirt/dust). The selection is always optimized for wear resistance and load-bearing capacity.
2. Can FTM manufacture a bushing based only on a physical sample?
Yes, absolutely. As specialists in customization, we can reverse-engineer and precisely manufacture any shaft sleeve or bushing based on a physical sample, ensuring the new part meets or exceeds the original component’s performance specifications.
3. What is the typical lead time for a non-standard or customized bushing order?
Lead times vary depending on the complexity of the design, material procurement, and order volume. For general non-standard orders, we typically provide an estimated delivery timeline within a week of final drawing confirmation and aim for the fastest possible turnaround due to our efficient in-house manufacturing processes.
4. How does the “small thermal expansion coefficient” benefit the end-user?
A small thermal expansion coefficient is crucial for maintaining high dimensional stability and precision. This means the bushing will retain its original critical dimensions (like the internal diameter and wall thickness) even when the motorcycle system heats up significantly during operation, preventing premature loosening, excessive play, or seizure.
5. In addition to motorcycles, what other industries does FTM’s bearing expertise cover?
FTM’s expertise extends widely into various demanding industrial sectors, including engineering machinery (e.g., construction equipment) and textile machinery, where our high-precision and non-standard bearing solutions are vital for enduring high loads and achieving consistent operational accuracy.
