0.502" OD Bearings | McMaster-Carr

Increased iron content makes these bearings stronger and more resistant to shock loads than standard oil-embedded bearings; however they operate at lower speeds.

Ultra-Low-Friction Oil-Embedded Sleeve Bearings

For applications with frequent starts and stops, the oil in these bearings contains particles of slippery PTFE that lubricate the bearing during startup.

Food Industry Oil-Embedded Sleeve Bearings

The oil in these bearings is suitable for incidental contact with food.

High-Load Food Industry
Oil-Embedded Sleeve Bearings

Embedded with oil that is safe for incidental contact with food, these bearings are suitable for use in high-load applications such as bottling and filling lines in food processing plants. They are also known as Super Oilite® bearings.

High-Temperature Dry-Running Sleeve Bearings

Graphite provides a layer of dry lubrication that can operate in high-temperature environments.

Multipurpose Sleeve Bearings

These bronze bearings are strong, wear resistant, and excellent at handling shock loads.

Multipurpose Sleeve Bearings with Groove

A figure-8-shaped groove provides a flow path for lubricant, distributing it evenly along the bearing’s surface.

Flanged Sleeve Bearings

Oil-Embedded Flanged Sleeve Bearings

Startup friction causes these bearings to release a thin layer of oil on the bearing’s surface. They’re flanged, so they handle loads both parallel and perpendicular to the shaft. They’re also known as Oilite® bearings.

High-Load Oil-Embedded Flanged 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.

Ultra-Low-Friction Oil-Embedded
Flanged Sleeve Bearings

Food Industry Oil-Embedded
Flanged Sleeve Bearings

The oil in these bearings is suitable for incidental contact with food.

High-Load Food Industry Oil-Embedded
Flanged Sleeve Bearings

Support heavy loads that are often found in bottling and filling lines in food plants—these bearings contain extra iron and FDA-compliant oil. They’re flanged, so they handle loads both parallel and perpendicular to the shaft.

Food Industry Dry-Running Flanged Sleeve Bearings

Made of FDA listed materials for use in food applications, these bearings also withstand caustic and washdown environments.

High-Temperature Dry-Running
Flanged Sleeve Bearings

Graphite provides a layer of dry lubrication that operates in high-temperature environments.

Multipurpose Flanged Sleeve Bearings

These bronze bearings are strong, wear resistant, and excellent at handling shock loads.

Multipurpose Flanged Sleeve
Bearings with Certification

Furnished with a traceable lot number and material test report, these bronze bearings are strong, wear resistant, and excellent at handling shock loads.
