Let us learn about Bushing.
Mechanical bushings are sleeve-shaped lining that is used to reduce the friction and wear between mechanical parts. They also help to constrain and restrain the motion of the parts.
Sometimes, they are also known as a plain bearing. Mechanical bushings are used to line holes in stationary parts of a mechanism. They are particularly effective in spreading friction and wearing over the surface of the bushing as opposed to directing into a single spot.

A bushing is also known as a bush is an independent plain bearing inserting into a housing to provide a bearing surface for rotary applications.
This is the common form of a plain bearing. The common designs would include split, solid and clenched bushings. They are only a "sleeve" of material with an inner diameter, length and outer diameter.
The difference between the three is that a solid sleeved bushing is sold all the way around and a split bushing has a cut along its length. The clenched bearing is similar to a spit bushing but instead with a clench across the cut.
A flanged bushing is a sleeve bushing that has a flange at one end that is extended radially outward from the outer diameter.
The flange is used to locate the bushing positively when it is installed to provide a thrust bearing surface.Add paragraph text here.
