Ultra-Thin Ball Bearings
These bearings have twice as many contact points as angular-contact ball bearings. Fit onto large-diameter hollow shafts to run air and hydraulic lines, electrical wiring, and other components through moving parts in assemblies such as index and rotary tables, packaging equipment, and robotics.
Open bearings dissipate heat more efficiently than shielded bearings.

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.

Ultra-Low-Friction Oil-Embedded Thrust Bearings
For applications with frequent starts and stops, the oil in these bearings contains particles of slippery PTFE that lubricate the bearing during startup.

Oil-Filled 841 Bearing Bronze Tubes
- Yield Strength: 11,000 psi
- Hardness: Not Rated
- Temper: Not Rated
- Heat Treatable: No
- Specifications Met: ASTM B438
Powdered bronze is pressed and then impregnated with SAE 30 oil to make this material self-lubricating. Use it to make bearings and parts for hard-to-reach areas that would be difficult to access for lubrication, such as well pumps and turbine blades. These tubes are oversized on the outside and undersized on the inside to allow for finishing to the sizes listed.

Weldable 954 Bearing Bronze Tubes
- Yield Strength: 32,000 psi
- Hardness: Rockwell B85 (Medium)
- Temper: M07
- Heat Treatable: Yes
- Specifications Met: ASTM B505
954 bronze contains a minimum of 10% aluminum for strength and weldability. It is also known as aluminum bronze. It's widely used for bearings, bushings, valve bodies, and worm gears. The strength of this material increases with heat treating.

Washdown Clamping Shaft Collars
Suitable for use in washdown applications, these plastic collars also offer good chemical resistance. They clamp evenly around the shaft to create a strong, mar-free hold. To use, slide onto your shaft and tighten the clamping screw to secure.
Acetal collars have a naturally slippery surface and resist swelling when exposed to moisture.

Hub-Mount Screw-Clamp Bushings
Transfer torque directly from a shaft to a hub. These bushings install over your hub to mount a sprocket, pulley, or gear to a shaft at the same time. Common in industrial gearbox applications, they can also connect a hollow shaft over a solid shaft. As screw-clamp bushings, they're good for shock loads. When you tighten the included clamping screws, the outer rings compress against a sprocket, pulley, or gear in between them, causing the inner rings to tighten around the shaft.

MDS-Filled Easy-to-Machine Wear-Resistant Cast Nylon Tubes
- Color: Black
- Maximum Temperature: 230° F
- Tensile Strength: 10,000 psi (Good)
- Impact Strength: 1.4 ft.-lbs./in. (Poor)
- Hardness: Rockwell R110 (Hard)
- For Use Outdoors: Yes
- Specifications Met: ASTM D5989
The addition of MDS gives these tubes exceptional wear resistance along with a self-lubricating surface. They're made of cast nylon 6, making them easier to machine and better electrical insulators than other MDS-filled nylon tubes. Tubes can be used to fabricate pulleys, bushings, and bearings installed in hard-to-reach areas where adding a lubricant would be difficult. The OD is oversized and the ID is undersized to allow for finishing to the sizes listed. This material is comparable to Nylatron and Nycast.
