Abstract

The invention provides a bushing assembly, a bushing assembly kit, an apparatus including the bushing assembly, and an associated method. The bushing assembly comprises a first tubular end portion, a second tubular end portion and a middle tubular portion. The middle tubular portion has a longitudinal compressive strength that is less than that of the end portions. In some embodiments, the middle tubular portion is constructed of braided sleeving. Also disclosed is a bushing assembly kit, an apparatus that includes the bushing assembly, such as aircraft, and an associated method of utilizing the bushing assembly.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to bushings and more particularly to electrically conductive bushings. Background technique [0002] Bushings are used for a variety of purposes, and typically a bushing is a hollow cylindrical member, such as a tube or sleeve, that can be used as a guide or spacer for various tools, fasteners, parts, and the like. In some applications, the bushing may form part of the bearing assembly. [0003] In the aerospace industry, one application of the bushing includes ensuring that components extending through the fuel tank wall are sufficiently electrically grounded to the fuel tank wall to avoid sparking. In modern aircraft construction, where the airframe - including the fuel tank - is constructed from carbon fiber reinforced polymers, and when using existing bushing technology, the hole extending through the fuel tank wall and the bushing press-fitted to the hole itself requires There are very tight tolerances wi...
