SKF PRM series friction bushings are cylindrical plain bearings designed to support radial loads in rotating or oscillating movements. They are used as an alternative to bearings in applications requiring low maintenance, high corrosion resistance or quiet operation. At MR Accesorios Industriales we supply this line for the Argentine industrial market, with technical advice to select the right size.
The designation of SKF PRM bushings consists of the letters PRM followed by a six-digit number indicating the main dimensions. For example, code PRM 323630 corresponds to a bushing with 32 mm inner diameter, 36 mm outer diameter and 30 mm width. Similarly, PRM 505560 has 50 mm inner diameter, 55 mm outer diameter and 60 mm width. This nomenclature allows quick identification of the size without consulting additional tables.
These bushings are used in a wide variety of industries in Argentina, such as food, chemical, textile and agricultural machinery. They are common in conveyors, pumps, mixers, fans and equipment where lubrication conditions are limited or where noise reduction is sought. They are also used in applications with slow oscillating movements, such as joints and pins, thanks to their ability to support moderate radial loads.
To select a PRM bushing, take into account the shaft diameter, the expected radial load and the environmental conditions. It is essential to verify the housing and shaft tolerances to ensure a proper fit, generally with slight interference on the outside. Lubrication can be permanent (with self-lubricating material) or require periodic greasing depending on the version. Correct alignment between shaft and housing prevents premature wear and ensures a long service life.
Regarding equivalences, SKF PRM bushings can be interchanged with products from other brands that follow the same dimensional designation, such as bushings from similar series of other manufacturers. However, it is important to verify the material and tolerances, as they may vary between suppliers. We always recommend consulting with our technical team before replacing a component to ensure compatibility and expected performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the PRM designation mean in SKF bushings?
- PRM is the SKF friction bushing series. The numbers that follow indicate the dimensions in millimeters: the first two digits correspond to the inner diameter, the next two to the outer diameter and the last two to the width.
- Do these bushings require lubrication?
- It depends on the version. Some PRM bushings are self-lubricating and need no maintenance, while others require periodic greasing. We recommend consulting the product data sheet or contacting us for advice according to your application.
- How do I know what bushing size I need?
- You must measure the shaft diameter and the housing inner diameter. With those measurements, you select the corresponding PRM code. If you have doubts, send us the measurements via WhatsApp and we will help you choose the right bushing.
