Fastenal Co. supplies a variety of bushing types manufactured by Nibco Inc., ProFitter, Raco/Bell, and Eaton Weatherhead.

Grainger carries tapered and QD, keyless, reducing, and idler bushings by Gates, Dayton, Browning, Tsubaki, and Fenner Drives. Of the tapered and QD bushings, bore diameters start at 0.75" and end at 1.5", with lengths from 1.9375" to 2.9375"; they include bore bushing series B, F, Q1, SF, SD, SK, 1610, 2012, 2517, and 3020, and taper-lock, quick detachable, and split taper styles. The keyless bushings come in shaft diameters between 1.375" and 2.75" and are made of either carbon steel or corrosion resistant steel. The reducer bushings vary in diameter from 0.25" to 0.675".

Quality Bearings & Components (QBC) distributes Thomson products, including Thomson's Super Smart, Super, and Precision Steel Ball Bushing Bearings in both open and closed types. These products offer a coefficient of friction as low as 0.001. In addition, the Super Smart Ball Bushing carries up to 6x the load capacity, or 216x the travel life, of conventional linear bearings. QBC also carries sintered bronze sleeve bearings in five different series: small, standard, ultraprecision, plastic, and Frelon-lined.

Atlas Bronze is both a manufacturer and distributor of bronze bushings and custom bronze bushings, including cast bronze sleeve bushings, sintered bronze sleeve bushings, flange bushings, and thrust bushings. The company's standard lines of bushings are stocked both with and without internal grease grooves, and customers that want grooves can request custom groove patterns. Bushings can also be made graphite-plugged.

Bearing Kinetics specializes in bearings and special assemblies for aerospace and industrial applications, include drill jig bushings. These drill bushings are manufactured from C1144 stress-proof steel and other high carbon steels, with a hardness of 62-64 Rockwell C. Several types are available, include headless press-fit (Type P), head press-fit (Type H), fixed renewable (Type F), slip-fixed renewable (Type SF), headless liner (Type L), and head liner(Type HL).

Bearing Service Inc. offers ball bushings from several manufacturers, including Thomson, Shaeffler, and NB Corporation. Compared to plain bushings, ball bushings reduce friction and increase stiffness, accuracy, and smoothness. Several different styles are available from Bearing Service Inc., including recirculating ball, non-recirculating ball, linear motion, rotary motion, self-aligning and pre-loaded.

Reid Supply Company offers three groups of bushings: straight type, shoulder type, and tension bushings. The straight and shoulder bushings are made from aluminum bronze and used for dies and molds, and they come plain or with graphite plugs. Tension bushings are rolled from high carbon spring steel, with high elasticity to permit compression and expansion; they are designed to replace solid steel tubular and case hardened bushings.

Brance-Krachy offers Taper-Lock bushings (TLB) and QD bushings from Dodge Power Transmission and Martin Sprocket, in addition to Oilfield QD Bushings for oil field applications. The TLBs have a variety of features; some include a threaded hole, allowing a removed capscrew to be used as a jackscrew; others can be used with a Para-Flex GTL coupling to create a torque capacity up to 11,600 lbs. Overall, the company offers a total of 12 bushing series to accommodate almost any bore size.

Motion Industries carries over 63,000 bushings under four main categories: old style, taper lock, split taper, and keyless. Their manufacturers include Martin, Browning, Dodge, UST, Gates, and TB Woods, as well as several others.
