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 Oil-Embedded 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. Startup friction causes them to release a thin layer of oil on the bearing’s surface. Color is silver because of the iron. These bearings are also magnetic due to the high iron content.
863 iron-copper bearings are also known as Super 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.

Use these bearings in applications with frequent starts and stops because they operate with very little friction.
Thermoplastic-blend bearings create the least amount of friction of any bearings that we offer. They handle heavier loads than PTFE and Rulon J 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.

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.

Increased iron content makes these bearings stronger and more resistant to shock loads than standard oil-embedded bearings; however they operate at lower speeds. Startup friction causes these bearings to release a thin layer of oil onto their surface. Color is silver because of the iron.
863 iron-copper bearings are also known as Super Oilite® bearings.

High-Load Food Industry Oil-Embedded Flanged Sleeve Bearings

Support heavy loads that are often found in bottling and filling lines in food plants—these bearings contain extra iron and FDA-compliant oil. The oil is safe to touch food, though it shouldn’t regularly come in contact. Startup friction causes these bearings to release a thin layer of oil onto their surface. They’re flanged, so they handle loads both parallel and perpendicular to the shaft.
863 iron-copper bearings contain more iron than 841 bearing bronze bearings, so they’re stronger and resist failing if their load suddenly and drastically increases. They’re also known as Super Oilite® bearings.

Startup friction causes these porous bronze bearings to release a thin layer of oil on the bearing’s surface. They are self-aligning to compensate for shaft misalignment.
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.
