A male brass bushing is a threaded or press-fit component designed with external features (such as external threads or a protruding sleeve) that allow it to be inserted into or engage with a corresponding female part. It is used to support, align, or adapt shaft sizes while providing a smooth, low-friction bearing surface. Male brass bushings are corrosion-resistant, durable, and suitable for moderate load and speed applications. A female brass bushing is a hollow cylindrical component with an internal bore or internal threads designed to receive a male shaft or fitting. It acts as a wear-resistant liner, reducing friction between moving parts and protecting the housing from damage. Female brass bushings are commonly press-fit or threaded into housings and are valued for their strength, machinability, and corrosion resistance.
