Volex ForgeParts › Flanged Bushing / Shoulder Bush Generator

Generate a flanged bushing

A sleeve bearing with a shoulder at one end. The sleeve carries radial load in its housing; the flange takes axial thrust and locates the bush so it cannot push through.

What it is used for

Dimensions that matter

Sleeve ODThe press or slip fit into the housing bore.
Flange diameterMust be larger than the housing bore.
BoreThe running clearance on the shaft.
Length and flange thicknessSleeve length and shoulder depth.
Geometry is sanity-checked: the flange must be larger than the sleeve, the bore smaller than the sleeve, and the flange must fit within the length. Impossible combinations are declined rather than built wrong.

What you get

A real solid model you can rotate and measure, plus downloadable STEP (machining and CAD), STL and 3MF (3D printing) and DXF (laser and waterjet) files. Optional built-in analysis covers stress (FEA), thermal, buckling, cost and manufacturability.

Before you see it, the built geometry is measured against the dimensions you stated, checked as a valid watertight solid, and — for assemblies — checked for interference. These are geometry and physics checks; they do not confirm the shape matches what you pictured, so review the 3D view or 2D drawing before relying on the part.

Previewing is free. Downloading is £2.99 per part, or unlimited on Pro (£29/month, £290/year).

Common questions

What file formats do I get?
STEP, STL, 3MF and DXF — the formats CNC shops, laser cutters and 3D printers accept.

Can I change the dimensions afterwards?
Yes. Edit the numbers directly, or describe the change in plain English. Every edit is rebuilt and re-checked.

Do I need CAD experience?
No. Describe the part and its sizes in millimetres.

Is it free to try?
Yes — describing a part and viewing the 3D preview costs nothing.
