POLYLUBE® Guide Rod Bushings POLYLUBE® Guide Rod Bushings are designed as replacements for traditional metallic guide rod bushing materials. Replacing conventional metallic guide rod bushings with a POLYLUBE® guide rod bushing is a straight-forward change out. Typical replacement programs where metallic guide rod bushings are replaced are driven from one or a combination of several of the following factors: * Improved stick-slip properties * Optimal frictional response during cycling * Significant reduction in shaft scoring * Extension in the bushing life * Reduction in bushing profile * Greatly improved side load/misalignment capacity * Increase in load capacity of bushing * Enhanced corrosion resistance * Tolerance of more cost effective shaft finishes * Lower in weight
