High-Load Dry-Running Sleeve Bearings
Plastic Bearings
with Steel Shell
A metal shell adds strength.
Bronze-backed PTFE bearings with steel shell combine high-load and high-speed capabilities. They resist swelling when exposed to moisture and are electrically conductive.
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.
Thermoplastic-blend bearings create the least amount of friction of any bearings that we offer. They handle heavier loads than PTFE and Rulon J 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.

Ultra-Low-Friction Dry-Running Flanged Sleeve Bearings
Use these bearings in applications with frequent starts and stops because they operate with very little friction.
Thermoplastic blend bearings create the least amount of friction of any bearing that we offer. They handle heavier loads than PTFE and Rulon J 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.

Corrosion-Resistant Swivel Joints
Stronger than plastic models, these stainless steel swivel joints are also more corrosion resistant than steel joints. Ball is heat treated for strength. Also known as spherical bearings, they support angular misalignment. Press them into a hole or housing where a ball joint rod end won’t fit. They don't come lubricated, so you'll need to lubricate during installation and on an ongoing basis.
