Oil-Embedded Sleeve Bearings

Startup friction causes these 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 Dry-Running Sleeve Bearings

Bearings with
6061 Aluminum Shell
A metal shell adds strength.
Frelon bearings with 6061 aluminum shell reduce vibration and are chemically inert.
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.

Light Duty Dry-Running Sleeve Bearings

Use where high loads and speeds are not required.
MDS-filled nylon bearings create less friction than standard nylon bearings, making them more wear resistant.
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.
