    Open

    Reduce friction between rotating parts that don’t require high speed or precision, such as the shafts in hand cranks and casters.
    Open—With no rubber seal to block airflow, these bearings dissipate heat quickly, extending the life of the lubricant and reducing friction over time.
    Steel—Strong and wear resistant. However, these bearings are best for dry environments since moisture will cause them to rust.

    Dry-Running Metal-Reinforced Plastic Sleeve Bearings

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Sleeve Bearings. Dry-Running Metal-Reinforced Plastic Sleeve Bearings.
    Combine slippery plastic with the strength of metal. The PTFE core is naturally slippery, so you’ll never have to add lubricant. These bearings also keep your workspace clean with no lubricant to drip or flake and attract dust. Compared to all-metal bearings, they are lighter.
    With no moving parts, sleeve bearings are the simplest way to support the load of a rotating shaft while reducing friction. Also known as plain bearings.
    Bronze-Backed PTFE with Steel Shell—A good all-around, economical choice. Although these bearings are stronger than aluminum, they can only be used in dry environments where corrosion is not a concern.
