    Choose a sleeve bearing that matches your load and speed requirements and that's right for your environment.

    Dry-Running Metal-Reinforced Plastic Sleeve Bearings

    Combine slippery plastic with the strength of metal. The PTFE core is naturally slippery, so you’ll never have to add lubricant. These bearings also keep your workspace clean with no lubricant to drip or flake and attract dust. Compared to all-metal bearings, they are lighter.
    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.
    PTFE with 17-4 PH Stainless Steel Shell—The highest load capacity of any sleeve bearing we offer. 17-4 PH stainless steel offers good corrosion resistance but is heavier than aluminum.

    Made of cadmium-plated steel, these rod ends generally handle higher loads than stainless steel, aluminum, and nylon rod ends. They provide moderate corrosion resistance. All have a PTFE liner that allows smooth ball rotation and eliminates the need for lubrication. Liner meets SAE AS81820.
    Oversized Shank—Rod ends with an oversized shank have a shank that is one size larger than the ID to handle greater stress.
