Oil-Embedded Sleeve Bearings
![]() |
Install and forget these self-lubricating bearings. All are made from porous metal and saturated with oil to reduce maintenance and downtime. A good all-around choice, they are used in everything from palm-sized fans in
electronics to tire-sized pulleys. Although these bearings will work in most conditions, oil may drip away if temperatures get too high. Consider a graphite-lubricated bearing for higher temperatures or places where you can’t
afford the mess. 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.
841 Bearing Bronze—A classic choice for a starter pick. Also known as SAE 841 bearings.
Mineral Oil Base—Mineral oil consistently lubricates at most temperatures but doesn’t last as long as synthetic oil.
Dry-Running Metal-Reinforced Plastic Sleeve Bearings

Combine slippery plastic with the strength of metal. The PTFE core is naturally slippery, so you’ll never have to add lubricant. These bearings also keep your workspace clean with no lubricant to drip or flake and attract dust. Compared to all-metal bearings, they are lighter.

PTFE with Aluminum Shell—A lightweight upgrade from our steel shell. These bearings also offer good corrosion resistance similar to stainless steel but aren’t as strong.
