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

    Mil. Spec. Dry-Running Reinforced Metal, Plastic Sleeve Bearings Not Required

    PTFE with 17-4 PH Stainless Steel Shell—The highest load capacity of any sleeve bearing we offer. 17-4 PH stainless steel offers good corrosion resistance but is heavier than aluminum.

    High-Temperature Graphite-Lubricated Sleeve Bearings

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Sleeve Bearings. High-Temperature Graphite-Lubricated Sleeve Bearings.
    Made of a graphite and metal alloy, these bearings stay slippery at high temperatures where oil burns off and other bearings fail. With no need for refills, they require little to no maintenance. You’ll find them in pumps, propellers, and mixers that spin near steam or inside ovens. However, graphite may eventually flake off, dropping flecks and leaving smudges. If you need a spic-and-span space, consider dry-running bearings made of slippery plastic instead. 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.
    High-Load 932 Bearing Bronze—These bearings are strong enough for sudden starts and stops, plus they resist wear and tear. They are cast from an alloy of leaded tin bronze for uniform rigidity and strength. Also known as 660 leaded bronze bearings.

    Thrust Bearings

    With no moving parts, these bearings are the plainest way to support thrust loads while reducing friction. They don't come with lubricant, so you can choose the oil that's best for your application. Make sure to mount them where they're easy to access, since you'll need to replenish the oil frequently. All are fabricated and inspected in the U.S.
    High-Load Chemical-Resistant 954 Bearing Bronze—The addition of iron and aluminum makes these bearings strong and exceptionally chemical resistant. You'll find them in demanding environments, such as salt mines. Also known as aluminum bronze.

    Keep parts spinning in temperatures as hot as 750° F. Lubricated with graphite, these bearings stay slippery where oil would burn off or solidify. You can install and forget them since the lubricant lasts forever. All are fabricated, lubricated, and inspected in the U.S.
