Oil-Embedded Sleeve Bearings

Startup friction causes these porous bronze bearings to release a thin layer of oil on the bearing’s surface. They are also known as Oilite® bearings.
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.
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".

Ultra-Low-Friction Oil-Embedded Sleeve Bearings

For applications with frequent starts and stops, the oil in these bearings contains particles of slippery PTFE that lubricate the bearing during startup.

Food Industry Oil-Embedded Sleeve Bearings

The oil in these bearings is suitable for incidental contact with food. Startup friction produces a thin layer of oil on the bearing’s surface.
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".
