Outboard Support Bushings are mounted on the end of the milling arbor opposite the spindle. This bushing is critical because it has to be capable of handling the high forces generated by the cut and still have the accuracy to hold finish part tolerances. Most common applications include saw arbors, lock notch arbors, bulkhead arbors and half round arbors. Contact GATCO for sizes not listed here or use our form to fill in and send your requirements.

Mid-Support Bushings are mounted on gang arbors and can be positioned anywhere between the spindle and the outboard support bushing. Mounted directly on the arbor, the bushings may be incorporated either singly or in multiples for adequate support. Overall length is held so that they also act as a spacer. Most common applications include saw arbors, lock notch arbors, bulkhead arbors and half round arbors. Contact GATCO for sizes not listed here or use our form to fill in and send your requirements.

Tapered O.D. Bushings are most commonly used to support milling arbors on stand-alone tool room horizontal milling machines. They replace the tapered O.D. bronze bushings commonly designed into these machines. Contact GATCO for sizes not listed here or use our form to fill in and send your requirements.

Special Designs
Although a large number of dimensional combinations are available, Gatco Rotary Bushings may be designed and built to meet the requirements of particular applications. Considering the improvements in milling performance and tool life, Gatco bushings are a practical and economical addition to any milling machine. Gatco's Engineering Department can provide a special design to suit your specific requirements. Since all bushings are "made to order", Standard or Special Designs have the same availability and pricing.
