About Plain Bearings

Oil-Embedded Flanged Sleeve Bearings

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

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

The collar centers your shafts and secures them better than set screw ball bearings, which reduces vibration and noise.

Thrust Ball Bearings

Thrust Ball Bearings for Shaft Ends

Use these bearings as miniature high-precision turntables. They have a unique design that allows your shaft to sit on top of the bearing rather than being inserted through it.

Thrust Ball Bearings

Steel balls and washers allow these bearings to handle higher loads than bearings with stainless steel components.
