What are the disadvantages of split copper bushing?

The disadvantages of split copper bushings are as follows:

The connection part is easy to wear:

The connection part of split copper bushing is usually fixed by bolts, pins or other connections, in the process of long-term use, the connection part is prone to wear and loosening, which affects the overall performance and service life of the copper bushing. For example, in some equipment with high vibration, the connection part of the split copper bushing may be gradually loosened due to vibration, resulting in an increase in the gap of the copper bushing and affecting the normal operation of the equipment.

Sealing performance is relatively poor:

Due to the existence of split copper bushings connection parts, these parts are prone to gap, resulting in relatively poor sealing performance. In some of the higher requirements for sealing performance occasions, split copper sleeve may not meet the requirements, need to take additional sealing measures, increasing the difficulty and cost of design and manufacturing.

Relatively low structural strength:

Compared with one-piece copper bushing, the structural strength of split copper bushing is relatively low, and is prone to deformation and damage when subjected to large loads and impacts. Therefore, when designing and selecting the split copper bushing, it is necessary to carry out reasonable structural design and material selection according to the actual load and working conditions, so as to ensure the strength and reliability of the bushing.

Precision control is difficult:

During the manufacturing and installation of split copper bushing, it is necessary to ensure the dimensional accuracy and matching accuracy of each part, otherwise it will affect the installation and use of the copper bushing. Due to the complexity of the structure of the split copper bushing, precision control is relatively difficult, and advanced manufacturing processes and testing methods need to be used to ensure the quality and performance of the copper bushing.
