    Dry-Running Flanged Sleeve Bearings

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Flanged Sleeve Bearings. Dry-Running Flanged Sleeve Bearings.
    Made of naturally slippery plastic so you’ll never have to add lubricant. They’re ideal for clean environments where you need to prevent oil drips or graphite flakes. Compared to metal bearings, they are lighter and will never rust.
    Flanged sleeve bearings combine a sleeve and thrust bearing in one. The flange supports thrust loads and prevents the bearing from being pushed out of place. The sleeve is the simplest way to support the load of a rotating shaft while reducing friction. Also known as plain bearings.
    Ultra-Low-Friction Rulon J—These bearings glide effortlessly for applications with frequent starts and stops, such as conveyor systems.
    Moisture-Resistant Ultra-Low-Friction Plastic Blend—These bearings won't warp or swell from humidity or direct contact with water. They glide effortlessly for applications with frequent starts and stops, such as conveyor systems.

    Oil-Embedded Sleeve Bearings

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Sleeve Bearings. Oil-Embedded Sleeve Bearings.
    Install and forget these self-lubricating bearings. All are made from porous metal and saturated with oil to reduce maintenance and downtime. A good all-around choice, they are used in everything from palm-sized fans in electronics to tire-sized pulleys. Although these bearings will work in most conditions, oil may drip away if temperatures get too high. Consider a graphite-lubricated bearing for higher temperatures or places where you can’t afford the mess. 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.
    841 Bearing Bronze—A classic choice for a starter pick. Also known as SAE 841 bearings.
    Synthetic Oil Base—A high-quality lubricant makes all the difference. Synthetic oil is less sensitive to temperature changes than mineral oil, so it won't get runny and leak away at higher temperatures.

    Spider Couplings

    Image of System. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Flexible Shaft Couplings. Spider Couplings.
    With two hubs gripping a rubbery spider in the center, these couplings damp vibration and transfer torque while flexing to handle misaligned shafts. The metal hubs never touch each other, so there's no need for lubrication. Also known as Lovejoy® couplings. For a complete coupling, select two hubs and one spider or two hubs, one split spider, and one retaining ring. Choose components with the same trade size to ensure they'll fit together.
    Hubs

    The metal body mounts onto shafts to transmit torque from one shaft to the other through the flexible center.
    Keyed—Mount onto shafts with a matching keyway.

    Shielded

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Ball Bearings. One-Way-Locking Ball Bearings, Sealed.

    Sealed

    Prevent shafts from reversing direction. These bearings have internal components (sprags) that lock against the outer ring to transmit torque one way but spin freely in the other. They're often found in backstopping, indexing, and overrunning applications. For example, they're used to prevent conveyors from reversing.
    Shielded—The balls are covered just enough to keep out large particles while allowing air to pass through and dissipate heat.
    Sealed—The best choice for dirty environments. A barrier seals out dust so it won't gunk up or wear down the balls. However, these bearings retain the most heat since air can't flow through.
    Steel—Strong and wear resistant. However, these bearings are best for dry environments since moisture will cause them to rust.
    ABEC Rating—Bearings with an ABEC rating meet industry tolerance standards established by the Annular Bearing Engineers Committee (ABEC). They're rated on a scale from 1 to 9. The higher the rating, the tighter the tolerance. Bearings rated ABEC 1 or 3 are precise enough for most applications. If your application consistently runs at high speeds or requires high accuracy, consider bearings rated ABEC 5 or higher, since they generate less friction and heat.

    High-Parallel-Misalignment Slotted Disc Couplings

    Image of System. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Flexible Shaft Couplings. High-Parallel-Misalignment Slotted Disc Couplings.
    Unlike couplings that flex to handle offset shafts, these have a slotted center disc that allows shafts to slide independently to compensate for parallel misalignment. The plastic center disc also helps transmit torque while preventing metal-to-metal contact between hubs, so there's no lubrication required. Also known as Oldham couplings. For a complete coupling, select two hubs and one disc. Choose components of the same trade size to ensure they'll fit together.

    Servomotor Precision Bonded Couplings

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Flexible Shaft Couplings. Servomotor Precision Bonded Couplings.
    With a bonded rubber center, these couplings damp vibration and accommodate misalignment on servomotors. The center and the lightweight aluminum hubs transfer torque fully (zero backlash) between shafts that start and stop frequently or accelerate at high speeds. They're often used on packaging machines, press brakes, and machinery for semiconductor production.
    Aluminum with Fluoroelastomer Center—Lightweight and corrosion-resistant hubs bonded with a flexible rubber center handle corrosive environments, vibration, and shaft misalignment.
    Clamp-On Shaft Mount—Grip shafts evenly without marring them and hold tighter than set screws. Tighten the clamping screws to secure.

    Ideal for frequent setup changes in tight spaces, these collars tighten with a lever instead of a screwdriver. Slide them from one end of your shaft and turn the lever like a ratchet to secure. To reposition or remove collars later, use the lever to loosen the screw and release the hold.
    Black-Oxide Carbon Steel—Dark and matted for a finished look, but with minimal corrosion resistance. Best for dry environments.
    303 Stainless Steel—Withstand moisture and mild cleaning solutions, such as acetone and ammonia. These are easier to machine than other stainless steel collars.
    Black Anodized Aluminum—One-third the weight of steel and more corrosion resistant than unfinished aluminum.

    Two-Piece Shaft Collars with Lever

    Skip the screwdriver—tighten these collars by turning the lever like a ratchet instead. They're ideal for packing, printing, label-feeding, and other equipment requiring frequent setup changes in tight spaces. Attach them anywhere along your shaft, which helps when other components are already installed or you can't access the ends. To reposition or remove collars later, use the lever to loosen the screw and release the hold.
