    Sealed

    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.
    Shielded—The balls are covered just enough to keep out large particles while allowing air to pass through and dissipate heat.
    Sealed—The best choice for dirty environments. A barrier seals out dust so it won't gunk up or wear down the balls. However, these bearings retain the most heat since air can't flow through.
    Steel—Strong and wear resistant. However, these bearings are best for dry environments since moisture will cause them to rust.

    Oil-Embedded Sleeve Bearings

    Install and forget these self-lubricating bearings. All are made from porous metal and saturated with oil to reduce maintenance and downtime. A good all-around choice, they are used in everything from palm-sized fans in electronics to tire-sized pulleys. Although these bearings will work in most conditions, oil may drip away if temperatures get too high. Consider a graphite-lubricated bearing for higher temperatures or places where you can’t afford the mess. All are fabricated, lubricated, and inspected in the U.S.
    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.
    841 Bearing Bronze—A classic choice for a starter pick. Also known as SAE 841 bearings.
    Synthetic Oil Base—A high-quality lubricant makes all the difference. Synthetic oil is less sensitive to temperature changes than mineral oil, so it won't get runny and leak away at higher temperatures. Also known as Oilite® bearings.
