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.
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.

High-Load Dry-Running Sleeve Bearings

Bearings with
6061 Aluminum Shell
A metal shell adds strength.
Frelon bearings with 6061 aluminum shell reduce vibration and are chemically inert.
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.

Ultra-Low-Friction Dry-Running Sleeve Bearings

Use these bearings in applications with frequent starts and stops because they operate with very little friction.
Rulon J bearings handle higher operating temperatures than PTFE or thermoplastic-blend bearings.

Oil-Embedded Flanged Sleeve Bearings

Startup friction causes these bearings to release a thin layer of oil on the bearing’s surface. They’re flanged, so they handle loads both parallel and perpendicular to the shaft. They’re also known as 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.

High-Load Food Industry Oil-Embedded Flanged Sleeve Bearings

Support heavy loads that are often found in bottling and filling lines in food plants—these bearings contain extra iron and FDA-compliant oil. The oil is safe to touch food, though it shouldn’t regularly come in contact. Startup friction causes these bearings to release a thin layer of oil onto their surface. They’re flanged, so they handle loads both parallel and perpendicular to the shaft.
863 iron-copper bearings contain more iron than 841 bearing bronze bearings, so they’re stronger and resist failing if their load suddenly and drastically increases. They’re also known as Super Oilite® bearings.
