Drill Bushings and Guide Bushings

What are drill bushings and guide bushings?

Drill bushings, also called guide bushings, are precise guides for drill bits and tools that enable precise drilling in workpieces.

They are frequently used in mechanical engineering and metalworking to ensure precisely repeatable positioning.

What is the difference between headed drill bushings and cylindrical drill bushings?

Headed drill bushings have a projecting collar that prevents the bushing from being pressed through the receiving part during installation. They are manufactured according to DIN 172 and offer secure fixation. In contrast, cylindrical drill bushings according to DIN 179 have no collar and are pressed flush into the receiving part.

What material are headed drill bushings made of?

Ganter manufactures headed drill bushings out of high-quality steel or stainless steel that is hardened and ground. This guarantees high precision and a long service life – even under high loads.

What types and variants of drill bushings does Ganter offer?

Ganter offers a variety of drill bushings, including:

Headed drill bushings DIN 172 with projecting collar
Cylindrical drill bushings DIN 179 without collar
Guide bushings with tapered bore GN 172.1 and GN 179.1 for indexing plungers
Headed drill bushings DIN 172 with projecting collar
Punch guide bushings DIN 9845
Cutting bushings DIN 9845

Where are headed drill bushings typically used?

Headed drill bushings are used when secure and precise guiding is required during drilling and when the bushing must be prevented from slipping. Typical applications are:

Machine and jig construction
Series manufacturing and special machinery
Metalworking and tool making
