Oil-Embedded Thrust Bearings
Startup friction causes these porous bronze 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.
Quick-Grip Flanged Hydraulic Bushings
Tighten just one set screw to clamp these bushings evenly around your shaft. The screw forces hydraulic fluid in between the double-walled sleeve, expanding the two walls against the shaft and the hub of your sprocket, pulley, or gear for a tight hold. Since you don’t have to tighten multiple screw clamps individually, these bushings are quick to adjust and more likely to stay aligned on your shaft. They’re also good for shock loads. A mounting flange prevents movement during tightening. Use a hex key to tighten.
Note: To avoid deforming the sleeve walls, make sure to fully tighten the screw.
Stainless steel bushings have excellent corrosion resistance in most environments.
