Castable Bushings FAQ

DG or SG?

Diamond-groove resists both rotation and push-out, so it is the default for cast tools. Serrata-groove resists rotation and can also be pressed in.

Can castable bushings be used in metal plates?

They are designed for cast or potted installation in non-metallic tooling. For steel or aluminum plates use press-fit or liner bushings.

Can you quote ADB, Boneham or ACTEK equivalents?

Yes. Send the Carr Lane part number or your print and we will quote the matching ADB, Boneham or ACTEK bushing alongside the Carr Lane part, so you can compare price and lead time.
