Split Hardened Bushing 1.5″ ID x 1.75″ OD – Bailey QS-175-150-III

Description

Product Overview

The Bailey Split Hardened Bushing is engineered for precision and durability, featuring a hardened steel body that resists wear and deformation under heavy loads. With a 1.5 inch inner diameter (ID) and a 1.75 inch outer diameter (OD) housed within a compact 1 inch length, this bushing offers a balanced profile that fits tightly into a wide range of industrial assemblies. The split‑tapered design allows for easy installation and removal without compromising alignment, while the hardened surface extends service life even in high‑temperature or high‑stress environments. Manufactured to exacting standards, each unit carries the QS-175-150-100-III model designation, ensuring consistency across batches and simplifying inventory management. The bushing’s lightweight construction—just 0.16 ounces—makes it suitable for applications where weight savings are critical without sacrificing strength.

Usage

Designed for industrial and scientific equipment, this split hardened bushing excels in machinery that demands reliable rotational support, such as conveyor rollers, gearboxes, and precision tooling. Its compact size enables integration into tight spaces, making it a preferred choice for retrofit projects where existing housings cannot be altered. The bushing performs well in environments ranging from manufacturing floors to laboratory rigs, handling both continuous operation and intermittent duty cycles. Engineers often select this component for applications that involve vibration damping, as the split design absorbs minor misalignments and reduces stress on adjacent parts. Additionally, the bushing’s corrosion‑resistant finish protects against moisture and chemical exposure, extending its functional lifespan in harsh settings.
