- Reduces stresses
- Improves lifespan
- For V2 gearbox
Standard guides do not feature ball bearings, and these are included in this product because they reduce stress on the spring by letting it rotate freely. When upgrading your gearbox bearing spring guides should always be considered because they will improve the life-span of a spring by reducing sideways stresses.
The spring bearing is construction from tough but lightweight aluminium Ergal with a smooth anodised finish. Fits version 2 gearboxes in replicas models such as M4, M16, SR16, SMG-3, MC51, G3, MINIMI, LR300.
- Ready for extreme stress
- Decreases friction
- Better energy efficiency
Upgrade your AEG with some advanced Open Steel Bearing Bushings from FPS Softair. Upgrading your bushings will decrease the friction caused by gear rotation, resulting in a higher burst speed and better energy efficiency. The open bearing ensures higher strength compared to closed because the ball bearings are larger.

- Japanese Steel construction
- For AEG gearboxes with 8mm bushing holes
Bolster Armouries EZO Ball-Bearing Bushings are designed and manufactured by Sapparo Precision Inc. in Japan and have been chosen by the Bolster team thanks to their extremely low friction, high-quality steel construction and fantastic reputation in a wide range of industries.
Specialists in medium and miniature ball bearings, Sapporo Precision bearings have a wide range of applications; in this case, reducing friction and extending the lifespan of whichever AEG they're installed inside. These bearings allow the gears to spin freely at a tremendous rate under high stress with minimal chances of failure, all while reducing stress on the gearbox shell and gear axles.
These are the same bearings used in Bolster Armouries' ultra high-end ONYX [Violet Edition] and ONYX [Blackout] builds and have performed phenomenally, proving to be far stronger than the average ball-bearing bushings. Compatibility-wise, these EZO Bearings will fit any AEG gearbox shell with 8mm bushing holes. If you want a super slick smooth running AEG build, Bolster Armouries EZO 8mm Japanese Steel Ball Bearing Bushing Set belong inside!

If you're working on a gearbox build, FPS Softair 8mm Self Lubricating CNC Steel Bushings will give your build a long life of friction-free performance! Constructed from CNC machined steel, these 8mm solid bushings are compatible with any AEG gearbox which uses 8mm bushing/bearing holes.
The advantage of solid bushings over ball-bearing bushings is their incredible strength, ideal for high-performance builds whether it's a DMR or DSG. If you're pushing the limits of Airsoft performance, FPS Softair 8mm Self Lubricating CNC Steel Bushings belong in your build!
About Our Airsoft Bushings and Bearings
Offering a range of mm sizes, our Airsoft AEG bushings and bearings keep your Airsoft gun running smooth. Bushings and bearings are responsible for the smooth operation of your gears, and are essentially the 'socket' that the gears sit inside to spin freely - the smoother the operation, the better your game is.
Both Airsoft bushings and ball bearings are rated by their exterior diameter and will need to match the rating for your gearbox (i.e. 8mm bearings only for an 8mm gearbox). An 8mm gearbox does not mean it takes bigger than 6mm BBs, this is just the size of the recess for the bearings to sit inside.
But what is the difference between bushings and bearings? Airsoft bushings are more simple in design, tough and last a long time, especially under the use of higher-rated springs, whereas bearings offer less friction when turning, for a slicker operation.
When using airsoft bushings, be sure to keep them well lubricated with a thicker gearbox grease, as they're not as free-spinning as bearings. You can explore our selection of gun grease as part of our range of Airsoft maintenance. Avoid the use of grease or lubricant on actual bearings as this can attract grit and dirt, potentially harming the operation of your AEG.
