What is another word for bushings?
Pronunciation: [bˈʊʃɪŋz] (IPA) 
The term "bushings" refers to circular devices that are inserted into a fixed or rotating machine part to reduce friction and wear. Synonyms for bushings include bearings, sleeves, inserts, pads, washers, spacers, and grommets. Bearings are devices that allow for smooth rotation or movement of machine parts and are commonly found in engines, electric motors, and conveyor systems. Sleeves and inserts are similar to bushings but are typically used in conjunction with other types of mechanical parts, such as shafts or gears. Pads and washers are used to reduce noise and vibration in machine parts, while spacers and grommets are used to create distance between components or to secure fasteners in place.
