E50 motor Kit Sintered bronze bushing. Thorens td 124 135 224
Sintered bronze bushing produced with mold (heat pressed from bronze powder) like Thorens' originals.
The bushings come pre impregnated with oil.
This offer is for a complete rebuild kit for your Thorens E50 motor (THORENS TD 124 series 1/2 - 135 - TD 121 - TD 224 - TD 184):
2 sintered bronze bushing with oil impregnated 22 % oil like original + PVC thrust pad + 4 felt rings + 6 mini rivets ) so they are ready to use.
Audiosilente is proud to announce we are now
producing true, sintered (heated and pressed from
metallic powder) bronze bushings, using the same process Thorens used in the 1960’s!
Using heat and pressure to fuse metallic powder
into a precision part is not the cheapest way, but it
is the best way. Thorens made true sintered
bushings, so why do other companies only offer bored bushings? Because they are cheaper to make! Remember,
“sintered” means heat pressed from powder.AudioSilente has spared no expense to bring you the finest bushings
on the market today. We have worked with metallurgists to reproduce the original bronze alloy mix and with
other Thorens restoration experts to confirm the original Thorens parts measurements. We have secured the
services of one of the finest companies, experts in creating true sintered bronze parts, to make our molds and the
parts you see here. Our process produces a part with BETTER tolerance than the Thorens original.
Custom produced in Germany, our bushings are checked every 100 units to confirm tolerance within 0.004
millimeters! No other process produces a part with the same porosity, the ability to hold as much oil as the
Thorens original (22%). Porosity is only part of what assures proper lubrication. The capillary system of the
bushing must be perfect through-and-through to assure maximum, even flow of oil from the felt washers,through
the bushing and finally to the motor rotor. The full running surface of the rotor MUST have an uninterrupted oil
film. This is key to achieving optimalperformance, low friction and lower operating temperature. There is ZERO
chance of a production drill smearing the inside of our bushings and closing the oil pores because
NO DRILLS are used in creating AudioSilente bushings! There is ZERO chance of drill bit marks marring the
running surface of the bushing either - again - NO DRILLS! Your E50 rebuild kit also includes four felt washers,
one PVC thrust pad and six rivets that replace the original Thorens rivets. AudioSilente’s kit includes these rivets
instead of screws because rivets work better in this application, due to the motor’s significant thermal expansion.
