Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the function of the HY 354587 DU-type self-lubricating bushing?
A: The HY 354587 is a self-lubricating bushing that provides low-friction bearing performance without external lubrication. It features a bonded steel backing with PTFE-based (polytetrafluoroethylene) low-friction bearing surface and is designed for dry operation in lift truck assemblies.
Q: Which lift truck brands can use the HY 354587 as a replacement part?
A: The HY 354587 is a direct OEM replacement for multiple forklift and lift truck brands. It cross-references to CAT Lift Trucks A000044561, Hyster 0354587, Mitsubishi Forklifts A000044561, and SMH 800013706, making it compatible across different manufacturer platforms.
Q: What are the material properties of the HY 354587 bushing?
A: The HY 354587 features a bonded steel backing for structural strength combined with a PTFE-based low-friction bearing surface. This hybrid construction provides durability while minimizing wear during articulation and movement in lift truck pivot points and linkage assemblies.
Q: Does the HY 354587 require lubrication or maintenance?
A: The HY 354587 is self-lubricating and engineered for dry operation, meaning it does not require external grease or oil application. The PTFE-based bearing surface provides inherent low-friction properties that reduce maintenance requirements compared to standard metal bushings.
Q: Can I use the HY 354587 as a cross-reference replacement for other manufacturer part numbers?
A: Yes. The HY 354587 replaces or supersedes CAT A000044561, Hyster 0354587, Mitsubishi A000044561, and SMH 800013706. Verify your equipment uses one of these original part numbers to confirm fitment compatibility before ordering.
