Oil-Embedded Sleeve Bearings
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.

Vibration-Damping Oil-Embedded Sleeve Bearings
With a flexible layer of rubber sandwiched between an oil-embedded bronze bearing and rigid metal shell, these bearings reduce wear and machinery noise. Startup friction produces a thin layer of oil on the bearing’s surface.

High-Speed Self-Aligning Dry-Running Flanged Sleeve Bearings
Made of acetal with a PTFE filler, these bearings handle velocities up to twice as high as standard acetal bearings. They’re self-lubricating, so they’ll take on less wear for an increased lifespan. Acetal won’t warp or swell from exposure to water, so these bearings are good for use in washdown environments. These bearings swivel to compensate for a small amount of shaft misalignment. Designed for press-fit installation by hand—no tools required—they don’t need to be fitted into a housing. Mount them into injection-molded panels and mounts, thin sheet metal, or hard non-ductile materials.
