These bearings don’t come with a lubricant, so you can select the oil that meets the needs of your application. You’ll need to refill the oil, so make sure the bearing is located where you can access it. All are fabricated and inspected in the U.S.

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.

Made of a graphite and metal alloy, these bearings stay slippery at high temperatures where oil burns off and other bearings fail. With no need for refills, they require little to no maintenance. You’ll find them in pumps, propellers, and mixers that spin near steam or inside ovens. However, graphite may eventually flake off, dropping flecks and leaving smudges. If you need a spic-and-span space, consider dry-running bearings made of slippery plastic instead. All are fabricated, lubricated, and inspected in the U.S.

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.

Reduce upkeep with sleeve bearings that lubricate themselves. Made from porous, oil-saturated bronze, they release a thin film of lubrication upon startup to keep shafts spinning. With no moving parts, sleeve bearings withstand dusty, dirty environments better than ball or roller bearings. However, with more friction generated, they're less effective at high speeds. They mount securely in thin panels.

Instead of replacing your shaft or keeping components, such as couplings, with various bore diameters on hand, these reducers adapt the bore of a component to a smaller size. Slide the reducer into the bore and use your component’s set screws or clamping mechanism to secure the shaft.

Slide these traditional collars from one end of the shaft and tighten the set screw. They dig into the shaft for a secure hold, but one that leaves a gouge. For maximum holding power, make sure the set screw is harder than the shaft.

Made of plastic approved by the FDA for direct food contact, these sleeve bearings won't leach harmful impurities, odors, or flavors into your food line. The naturally slippery material requires no lubrication, so there's no messy grease to drip off, wash out, or collect dust. They're the right choice for smooth rotation in mixers, conveyors, fillers, and other food-processing machinery.

With no moving parts, sleeve bearings stand up to dusty, dirty conditions better than ball bearings. However, with more friction generated, they're less effective at high speeds. The sturdy housing supports the shaft and secures with a two-bolt flange, the most common kind of flanged bearing.

With simple, lightweight designs, these bearings are a cost-effective option when extreme precision isn't necessary. Less stable than bearings with forged, one-piece housings, they're good for hand-cranked systems, gravity feed conveyor rollers, and other low-speed applications. Inside, the sleeve is made of naturally slick plastic that doesn't require lubrication. They'll keep shafts spinning with no messy grease to drip off, wash out, or collect dust. With no moving parts, sleeve bearings stand up to grimy environments better than ball bearings. However, with more friction generated, they're less effective at high speeds. The housing mounts in place with a two-bolt flange, the most common type of flanged bearing.

Slide these collars from one end of your shaft and tighten the clamping screw. They grip firmly and evenly without marring the shaft, so you can reposition or remove them later.

Twice as wide with double the number of clamping screws, these shaft collars grip with more power than standard collars. Slide them from one end of your shaft and tighten the screws. The collars clamp evenly without marring the shaft, so you can reposition or remove them later.

Attach these collars anywhere along your shaft, which helps when other components are already installed or you can't access the end. They clamp firmly and evenly without marring the shaft, so you can reposition or remove collars later.
