    Open Bearing

    Also known as spherical bearings, swivel joints support angular misalignment. Press them into a hole or housing where a ball joint rod end won’t fit. They need to be lubricated when first installed and periodically after that. Apply any type of bearing grease to the ball, and rotate it to work it into the races.

    Made of naturally slippery plastic so you’ll never have to add lubricant. They’re ideal for clean environments where you need to prevent oil drips or graphite flakes. Compared to metal bearings, they are lighter and will never rust.
    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.
    Nylon—The most popular choice, nylon is wear resistant yet economical. Keep in mind, though, that it will swell and weaken when exposed to moisture.
