1.503" ID Bearings | McMaster-Carr

For silky-smooth motion, the balls inside these bearings roll nearly friction-free. You'll often find them at the end of a shaft or between a stationary and rotating surface, such as on a propeller or rotary table.

These bearings come as three separate pieces—one cage and two washers. The cage holds the balls in place, while the washers create a surface for the balls to roll on. This design is easy to lubricate, but the oil will attract dust and grime since it's exposed.

Steel—Strong and wear resistant. However, these bearings are best for dry environments since moisture will cause them to rust.

Stainless Steel—These bearings won't degrade from water or mild chemicals, such as the ammonia in cleaning solutions. However, they're not as strong as steel bearings.

Oil-Embedded Flanged Sleeve Bearings

Install and forget these self-lubricating bearings. All are made from porous metal and saturated with oil to reduce maintenance and downtime. A good all-around choice, they are used in everything from palm-sized fans in electronics to tire-sized pulleys. Although these bearings will work in most conditions, oil may drip away if temperatures get too high. Consider a graphite-lubricated bearing for higher temperatures or places where you can’t afford the mess. All are fabricated, lubricated, and inspected in the U.S.

Flanged sleeve bearings combine a sleeve and thrust bearing in one. The flange supports thrust loads and prevents the bearing from being pushed out of place. The sleeve is the simplest way to support the load of a rotating shaft while reducing friction. Also known as plain bearings.

841 Bearing Bronze—A classic choice for a starter pick. Also known as SAE 841 bearings.

High-Load 863 Iron Copper—Iron makes these bearings harder, stronger, and more resistant to sudden starts and stops than 841 bearing bronze. However, they operate at slower speeds. The increased iron content makes these bearings appear silver.

Synthetic Oil Base—A high-quality lubricant makes all the difference. Synthetic oil is less sensitive to temperature changes than mineral oil, so it won't get runny and leak away at higher temperatures.

Extreme-Load Tapered-Roller Thrust Bearings

With thick, tapered rollers, these thrust bearings are the strongest we offer. The rollers spin inside a raceway instead of a cage, so there’s room for more rollers to support higher loads than three-piece designs. You’ll often find them on crane hooks and kingpins that connect semi-trailers to semi-tractors. However, they rotate at a fraction of the speed of other roller thrust bearings.

Since they come as one piece, you don’t need to assemble cages and washers to install. An outer band holds the rollers inside the raceway, keeping lubricant in and dirt out.

Steel—Strong and wear resistant. However, these bearings are best for dry environments since moisture will cause them to rust.

Sealed—The best choice for dirty environments. In addition to a band, these bearings also have a rubber seal to block dust from creeping in and wearing down the rollers. However, they retain the most heat since air can’t flow through.

High-Temperature Graphite-Lubricated Sleeve Bearings

Made of a graphite and metal alloy, these bearings stay slippery at high temperatures where oil burns off and other bearings fail. With no need for refills, they require little to no maintenance. You’ll find them in pumps, propellers, and mixers that spin near steam or inside ovens. However, graphite may eventually flake off, dropping flecks and leaving smudges. If you need a spic-and-span space, consider dry-running bearings made of slippery plastic instead. All are fabricated, lubricated, and inspected in the U.S.

With no moving parts, sleeve bearings are the simplest way to support the load of a rotating shaft while reducing friction. Also known as plain bearings.
