Panel-Mount Oil-Embedded Sleeve Bearings

Unlike other sleeve bearings, these do not need to be fully inserted into a housing. Their unique shape creates a permanent, secure hold in thin panels. Bearings swivel to accommodate up to 5° of shaft misalignment. On startup, friction causes the bronze to release a thin layer of oil on the bearing’s surface. Not for use with plastic panels.
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.

Needle-Roller Bearings

Also known as drawn-cup roller bearings, these are our thinnest roller bearings. The outer ring is drawn out to form a lip that holds the bearing together. Bearings take on the shape of their housing and may be oblong prior to installation.
Open bearings dissipate heat more efficiently than sealed bearings.
