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.
Nylon bearings resist chemicals better than bronze bearings. They also retain oil better in wet environments.
To Order: For made-to-order bearings, please specify ID and OD (in 0.0001" or 0.001 mm increments) and length (in 0.001" or 0.01 mm increments). The difference between the ID and OD must be at least 0.0625" for inch sizes or 2 mm for metric.

High-Load Oil-Embedded Sleeve Bearings
Increased iron content makes these bearings stronger and more resistant to shock loads than standard oil-embedded bearings; however they operate at lower speeds. Startup friction causes them to release a thin layer of oil on the bearing’s surface. Color is silver because of the iron. These bearings are also magnetic due to the high iron content.
863 iron-copper bearings are also known as Super 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.
To Order: For made-to-order bearings, please specify ID and OD (in 0.0001" increments) and length (in 0.001" increments). The difference between the ID and OD must be at least 0.0625".
