Custom Steel Bushings Manufactured to Your Exact Specifications

Triangle Machine Products is a precision bushing manufacturer producing custom steel bushings engineered for tight tolerances, demanding environments, and high-volume production runs. Our CNC turning capabilities let us deliver standard configurations and fully custom designs with consistent quality, built to spec.

What Are Machined Bushings?

A bushing is a cylindrical lining used to reduce friction, absorb wear, and provide a bearing surface between two mating components. In precision-machined applications, the accuracy of a bushing’s inner and outer diameters directly affects the performance and service life of the assembly it supports. Concentricity, roundness, and surface finish matter just as much, especially in rotating or oscillating assemblies. That’s why the choice of bushing manufacturer matters.

Our Custom Bushing Capabilities

We manufacture a full range of custom bushings to meet the unique requirements of each application. Our CNC turning centers and multi-spindle screw machines allow us to produce bushings with:

  • Tight tolerances and controlled concentricity
  • A wide range of materials, including carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and bronze
  • Threaded and unthreaded configurations, plus flanged, stepped, and thin-walled designs
  • Surface finishes tailored to customer requirements, with in-house grinding available
  • High-volume production with consistent quality

Types of Metal Bushings

Triangle machines several bushing styles for mechanical assemblies in industrial environments:

  • Threaded bushings: secure mounting that allows repeated disassembly in serviceable applications
  • Unthreaded bushings: spacers, sleeves, and bearings where alignment and smooth motion are required
  • Flanged bushings: axial support and controlled placement within a housing
  • Sleeve bushings: wear resistance and dimensional stability for fluid power and automotive uses

Unlike cold-formed alternatives, our CNC-machined bushings hold precise tolerances and superior concentricity. When a cold-formed part can’t meet your print, a machined bushing usually can.

Materials for Custom Steel Bushings

We work with a broad selection of metals to produce bushings engineered to your performance requirements:

  • Carbon Steel – Cost-effective strength for general-purpose applications
  • Alloy Steel – Enhanced mechanical properties for higher-stress environments
  • Stainless Steel – Excellent corrosion resistance for demanding conditions, including built-to-spec stainless steel bushings for specialty applications
  • Aluminum – Lightweight solution where weight reduction is critical
  • Brass & Bronze – Excellent machinability and bearing properties for low-friction applications
