Oil-Embedded Sleeve Bearings
Startup friction causes these porous bronze bearings to release a thin layer of oil on the bearing’s surface. They are also known as Oilite® bearings.
Note: Dynamic load capacity is the maximum load a bearing can withstand at a given shaft speed. If your application’s load and speed requirements are below the values listed, the bearing will work.

High-Load Oil-Embedded Sleeve Bearings
Increased iron content makes these bearings stronger and more resistant to shock loads than standard oil-embedded bearings; however they operate at lower speeds. Startup friction causes them to release a thin layer of oil on the bearing’s surface. Color is silver because of the iron. These bearings are also magnetic due to the high iron content.
863 iron-copper bearings are also known as Super Oilite® bearings.

Panel-Mount Dry-Running Sleeve Bearings
Permanently and securely install these self-clinching bearings into panels, with no need for precision-bored holes or machined mounts. They’re often used in areas with tight space restrictions. Install them into sheet metal panels with an air-powered or hydraulic press. They’re not for use in plastic panels. These bearings are self-aligning to compensate for small amounts of shaft misalignment. Made of acetal plastic, they won’t warp or swell when exposed to water, so they’re good for use in washdown environments.
