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.

Food Industry Dry-Running Sleeve Bearings
Made of FDA-listed materials or FDA compliant, these bearings are for use in food applications. They also withstand caustic and washdown environments.
Acetal bearings are FDA compliant for direct contact with food. They’re also bright blue, making them easy to spot if they fall into your line.
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.

Oil-Embedded Flanged Sleeve Bearings
Startup friction causes these bearings to release a thin layer of oil on the bearing’s surface. They’re flanged, so they handle loads both parallel and perpendicular to the shaft. They’re 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.

Light Duty Dry-Running Flanged Sleeve Bearings
Use where high loads and speeds are not required.
Thermoplastic-blend bearings have low moisture absorption and create very low friction in applications with light loads, and frequent starts and stops.
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.
