    About Sleeve Bearings

    Choose a sleeve bearing that matches your load and speed requirements and that's right for your environment.

    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.

    Oil-Embedded Panel-Mount Sleeve Bearings

    Reduce upkeep with sleeve bearings that lubricate themselves. Made from porous, oil-saturated bronze, they release a thin film of lubrication upon startup to keep shafts spinning. With no moving parts, sleeve bearings withstand dusty, dirty environments better than ball or roller bearings. However, with more friction generated, they're less effective at high speeds. They mount securely in thin panels.
    Steel Housing—Best for dry environments as moisture will cause them to rust.
    Clinch Panel Mount—Secure these self-clinching bearings into sheet metal panels for a permanent hold. Install them using an air-powered or hydraulic press—no need for precision-bored holes or machined mounts. They're not for use in plastic panels.
    Misalignment Capability—Bearings compensate for as much shaft misalignment as the degree listed. This extends the life of the bearing and protects against wear if shafts are slightly askew.

    With ID tolerances sized specifically for reamers, these bushings ensure steady and precise hole finishing. Press them into a fixture plate with a manual or hydraulic press for permanent installation. Also known as headless bushings, these ANSI-type P bushings don’t need counterboring to be mounted flush. They are made of hardened, ground steel that holds its shape and resists wear, so they last for many cycles without needing to be replaced.
