1.626" OD Bearings | McMaster-Carr

Install and forget these self-lubricating bearings. All are made from porous metal and saturated with oil to reduce maintenance and downtime. A good all-around choice, they are used in everything from palm-sized fans in electronics to tire-sized pulleys. Although these bearings will work in most conditions, oil may drip away if temperatures get too high. Consider a graphite-lubricated bearing for higher temperatures or places where you can’t afford the mess. All are fabricated, lubricated, and inspected in the U.S.

With no moving parts, sleeve bearings are the simplest way to support the load of a rotating shaft while reducing friction. Also known as plain bearings.

841 Bearing Bronze—A classic choice for a starter pick. Also known as SAE 841 bearings.

High-Load 863 Iron Copper—Iron makes these bearings harder, stronger, and more resistant to sudden starts and stops than 841 bearing bronze. However, they operate at slower speeds. The increased iron content makes these bearings appear silver.

Synthetic Oil Base—A high-quality lubricant makes all the difference. Synthetic oil is less sensitive to temperature changes than mineral oil, so it won't get runny and leak away at higher temperatures.

Dry-Running Flanged Sleeve Bearings

Made of naturally slippery plastic so you’ll never have to add lubricant. They’re ideal for clean environments where you need to prevent oil drips or graphite flakes. Compared to metal bearings, they are lighter and will never rust.

Flanged sleeve bearings combine a sleeve and thrust bearing in one. The flange supports thrust loads and prevents the bearing from being pushed out of place. The sleeve is the simplest way to support the load of a rotating shaft while reducing friction. Also known as plain bearings.

High-Load Ultra-Chemical-Resistant Polyester Fabric-Reinforced PTFE—Woven polyester resin reinforces these PTFE bearings to support loads and speeds comparable to metal bearings. Similar to other PTFE options, they are unaffected by the harsh fluids that other plastics can't handle, including all strong acids and bases.
