Panel-Mount Dry-Running Sleeve Bearings
Permanently and securely install these self-clinching bearings into panels, with no need for precision-bored holes or machined mounts. They’re often used in areas with tight space restrictions. Install them into sheet metal panels with an air-powered or hydraulic press. They’re not for use in plastic panels. These bearings are self-aligning to compensate for small amounts of shaft misalignment. Made of acetal plastic, they won’t warp or swell when exposed to water, so they’re good for use in washdown environments.

Food Industry Dry-Running Flanged Sleeve Bearings
Made of FDA listed materials for use in food applications, these bearings also withstand caustic and washdown environments.
Acetal bearings are FDA compliant for direct contact with food. They’re commonly used on machines in food plants and manufacturing plants for packaging and healthcare equipment. These bearings are bright blue, so they’re easy to spot in your line in case of breakage.
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.

Light Duty Dry-Running Mounted Sleeve Bearings with Two-Bolt Flange
Use these nylon or acetal bearings for light loads. The closed backing blocks out dust and other contaminants.
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.
