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.

Made of acetal and PTFE plastic, these panel-mount bearings handle speeds twice as fast as standard acetal bearings can. They’re self-lubricating, which reduces wear and prolongs their lifespan. These bearings are shaped for permanent and secure mounting on metal panels without precision-bored holes or machined mounts. They’re commonly used in areas with tight space restrictions. Install them with an air-powered or hydraulic press. These bearings will swivel to compensate for small amounts of shaft misalignment. They’re not for use in plastic panels.
