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.

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.
