    Smoother than smooth—the balls inside roll nearly friction-free to support smooth rotation. They mount securely in thin panels.
    All bearings come lubricated. Plan to relubricate regularly to keep them in tip-top shape. Seals and shields hold lubricant in while keeping dust and contaminants out. Open bearings require more frequent relubrication.
    Steel Housing—Best for dry environments as moisture will cause them to rust.
    Clinch Panel Mount—Secure these self-clinching bearings into sheet metal panels for a permanent hold. Install them using an air-powered or hydraulic press—no need for precision-bored holes or machined mounts. They're not for use in plastic panels.
    Press Fit—For a tight connection to the shaft, install with a press or by heating and then cooling the bearing. Also known as an interference fit.
    Misalignment Capability—Bearings compensate for as much shaft misalignment as the degree listed. This extends the life of the bearing and protects against wear if shafts are slightly askew.

    Dry-Running Panel-Mount Sleeve Bearings

    Leave the lubricant in the supply closet—these low-maintenance sleeve bearings are made from naturally slippery plastic. They'll keep shafts spinning with no messy grease to drip off, wash out, or collect dust. With no moving parts, sleeve bearings withstand grimy environments better than ball bearings. However, with more friction generated, they're less effective at high speeds. They mount securely in thin panels.
    Acetal—The most common choice for plastic bearings, acetal is wear-resistant and affordable.
    Steel Housing—Best for dry environments as moisture will cause them to rust.
    Clinch Panel Mount—Secure these self-clinching bearings into sheet metal panels for a permanent hold. Install them using an air-powered or hydraulic press—no need for precision-bored holes or machined mounts. They're not for use in plastic panels.
