Hello Engineers
I want to know, What is the difference between bush and sleeve?
Please help me
Thanks.

They are synonymous to me.

Perhaps, like bolt/screw there is a technical difference. Where I work, we do a plain bearing assembly and the bushing is the stationary part and the sleeve is the rotating part. But that could just be our habit.

Thanks @geesaman.d

Generally, I'd say the terms are interchangeable.

In my mind, when I think of a bushing it is a device used to protect or modify a housing, such as a hardened drill bushing or a threaded insert. When I think of a sleeve, it is device used to lubricate or reduce friction between parts. However, I would not say that somebody referring to a "bronze bushing" was wrong, though it fits what I consider a "sleeve" or plain bearing better.

There are many definitions depending on where they are used. I agree with above that they can be same thing called either sleeve or bushing.

However, in pump industry, bushing is a stationary component of pump and sleeve is attached to shaft (it rotates). So, in short, bushing can be stationary and sleeve can be rotating.
