High-Temperature Dry-Running Sleeve Bearings
Graphite provides a layer of dry lubrication that operates in high-temperature environments.
Graphalloy bearings perform at extreme temperatures and under water. They are electrically conductive and wear resistant.
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 Sleeve Bearings
Use where high loads and speeds are not required.
Acetal bearings have low moisture absorption and are more chemical resistant than nylon and MDS-filled nylon 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.

Ultra-Low-Friction Dry-Running Sleeve Bearings
Use these bearings in applications with frequent starts and stops because they operate with very little friction.
Rulon J bearings handle higher operating temperatures than PTFE or thermoplastic-blend bearings.
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.

Food Industry Dry-Running Sleeve Bearings
Made of FDA-listed materials or FDA compliant, these bearings are for use in food applications. They also withstand caustic and washdown environments.
Acetal bearings are FDA compliant for direct contact with food. They’re also bright blue, making them easy to spot if they fall into your line.
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 Flanged Sleeve Bearings
Use where high loads and speeds are not required.
Acetal bearings have low moisture absorption and are more chemical resistant than nylon and MDS-filled nylon bearings.
Thermoplastic-blend bearings have low moisture absorption and create very low friction in applications with light loads, and frequent starts and stops.
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-Speed Light Duty Dry-Running Mounted
Sleeve Bearings with Two-Bolt Flange
Made of acetal with a PTFE filling, these light duty bearings handle speeds twice as fast as standard acetal bearings can. The material is self-lubricating for less wear and longer life in your system. These bearings swivel to compensate for small amounts of shaft misalignment.

High-Speed Dry-Running Mounted Sleeve Bearings with Two-Bolt Flange
Handling speeds twice as fast as standard mounted sleeve bearings while limiting wear on your system, these bearings are made of PTFE-filled acetal. They don’t require any additional lubrication. To compensate for minor shaft misalignment, they’re self-aligning. Mount them using their two-bolt flange.
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.
