Bronze socket for BLE edger  

The Bronze socket on the wheel train of a BLE flange machine has several functions. It is used as a rolling element to reduce friction between the various moving parts of the wheel train, ensuring smooth rotation of the wheels. Bronze bushes are chosen for their resistance to wear and their ability to withstand heavy loads while maintaining good performance.

It is necessary to change the bronze bushing in the following cases:

1. Excessive wear: If the bronze bushing shows signs of wear, such as deep grooves, deformation or an uneven surface, it is time to replace it. Excessive wear can compromise smooth wheel rotation and lead to performance problems.

2. Excessive play: If the bushing has excessive play, this can lead to undesirable movement of the wheel train, affecting the stability and accuracy of the edger. In this case, we recommend replacing the bushing.

3. Structural defects: In the event of structural damage, such as cracks or breaks, the bushing must be replaced. Structural defects compromise the integrity of the part and can lead to potentially dangerous failures.

4. Change in design or configuration: If the BLE Trimmer undergoes modifications or upgrades that require a different bronze bushing in terms of size, load capacity or functionality, it may be necessary to change the part.

It is important to follow the Repex Floor manufacturer's recommendations for maintenance and parts replacement. In general, the bronze bushing should be replaced as soon as signs of wear, excessive play or structural defects are detected to ensure optimum performance and safe use of the machine.
