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.
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.

Food Industry Oil-Embedded Flanged Sleeve Bearings

The oil in these bearings is suitable for incidental contact with food. Startup friction produces a thin layer of oil on the bearing’s surface. All are FDA Compliant, so they're safe for use in food applications.
UHMW bearings resist chemicals better than 841 bronze bearings, and they retain oil better in wet environments. They also withstand caustic and washdown environments.
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.

Easy-Install Dry-Running Flanged Sleeve Bearings

A slit running along the length of these bearings allows you to quickly slip them into a housing—no tools required.
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.

Swivel Joints


Also known as spherical bearings, swivel joints support angular misalignment. Press them into a hole or housing where a ball joint rod end won’t fit. They need to be lubricated when first installed and periodically after that. Apply any type of bearing grease to the ball, and rotate it to work it into the races.

Lubrication-Free Swivel Joints


A slippery PTFE liner reduces friction without the oily mess. Also known as spherical bearings, they support angular misalignment. Press them into a hole or housing where a ball joint rod end won’t fit.

Corrosion-Resistant Swivel Joints


Stronger than plastic models, these stainless steel swivel joints are also more corrosion resistant than steel joints. Ball is heat treated for strength. Also known as spherical bearings, they support angular misalignment. Press them into a hole or housing where a ball joint rod end won’t fit. They don't come lubricated, so you'll need to lubricate during installation and on an ongoing basis.
