Self-Aligning Dry-Running Flanged Sleeve Bearings
Compensating for minor shaft misalignment and not requiring lubrication, these sleeve bearings swivel to self-align and are dry running. They don’t need a housing and you can install and replace them without any tools because they’re slip fit. Mount them in injection-molded panels, thin sheet metal, and hard non-ductile material. Made of acetal, they won’t warp or swell when exposed to water, so they’re good for washdown environments.
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-Speed Self-Aligning Dry-Running Flanged Sleeve Bearings
Made of acetal with a PTFE filler, these bearings handle velocities up to twice as high as standard acetal bearings. They’re self-lubricating, so they’ll take on less wear for an increased lifespan. Acetal won’t warp or swell from exposure to water, so these bearings are good for use in washdown environments. These bearings swivel to compensate for a small amount of shaft misalignment. Designed for press-fit installation by hand—no tools required—they don’t need to be fitted into a housing. Mount them into injection-molded panels and mounts, thin sheet metal, or hard non-ductile materials.

Shims for Shortening Screw Shoulders
Slide these shims under a screw head to shorten the shoulder length.
Stainless steel shims are more corrosion resistant than spring steel shims. 316 stainless steel shims have the best corrosion resistance of our stainless steel shims.
Spring steel shims are harder and hold their shape better than stainless steel shims.
