Oil-Embedded Sleeve Bearings

Startup friction causes these 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.

High-Load Oil-Embedded Sleeve Bearings

Increased iron content makes these bearings stronger and more resistant to shock loads than standard oil-embedded bearings; however they operate at lower speeds. Startup friction causes them to release a thin layer of oil on the bearing’s surface. Color is silver because of the iron. These bearings are also magnetic due to the high iron content.
863 iron-copper bearings are also known as Super 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 Sleeve 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-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.

Flush-Mount Screw-Clamp Bushings


Insert these bushings into the bore of your sprocket for flush or recessed mounting. They handle shock loads. When you tighten the included clamping screws, the bushing's inner sleeve contracts onto the shaft and the outer sleeve expands to hold your sprocket, pulley, or gear. They can be mounted on shafts with or without keyways.

Taper-Lock Bushings

Mount these hubless bushings flush into your sprocket or pulley for a slim profile with no protruding screws. They are for use with taper-lock sprockets of the same bushing style. As you tighten the included set screws, the bushing grips the shaft and pulls it into your sprocket or pulley.

Split-Tapered Bushings

The tapered barrel on these bushings is split on both sides, allowing them to contract more tightly around the shaft than quick-disconnect and taper-lock bushings. They're for use with split-tapered sprockets and pulleys of the same bushing style. As you tighten the included screws, the bushing grips the shaft and pulls it into the sprocket or pulley.
Bushings with a machine key fit into a matching keyway on a sprocket or pulley for high-torque applications.
