Our simplest-to-use thrust bearings, with no moving parts and no need to lubricate. Their porous surface releases oil over time, so you can install and forget them. While they run in most conditions, oil may drip away if temperatures climb too high. For extremely hot environments, consider graphite-lubricated bearings. All are fabricated, lubricated, and inspected in the U.S.

These hardened steel washers protect softer shafts and housings from the rolling contact of needle rollers. Without them, needle rollers can indent and score unhardened surfaces, leading to premature wear and bearing failure. Positioned between the bearing and each mating surface, these washers distribute thrust loads evenly and extend service life. They adapt needle-roller thrust bearings for unhardened, unground surfaces.

Combine naturally slippery PTFE with the strength of metal. These bearings don't need lubricant, so there's no oil to maintain, drip off, or attract dust. Backed with steel, they're as strong as other all-metal thrust bearings. However, they're best for dry environments since moisture will cause the steel to rust.

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.
