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.

Lift the top off to install, inspect, and maintain your shaft without full disassembly. Inside, the sleeve is made from babbitt, a tough, corrosion-resistant alloy. With no moving parts, sleeve bearings stand up to dusty, dirty environments better than ball or roller bearings. However, with more friction generated, they're less effective at high speeds. The sturdy housing bolts down to support shafts as they turn.

Lubricate regularly through the housing's lubrication port to keep your bearing in tip-top shape. The grooves help to evenly distribute lubrication across the bearing's surface.

Keep parts spinning in temperatures as hot as 750° F. Lubricated with graphite, these bearings stay slippery where oil would burn off or solidify. You can install and forget them since the lubricant lasts forever. All are fabricated, lubricated, and inspected in the U.S.

A toothed slot lets these bushings contract for insertion into the bore of your sprocket or pulley and then expand for a snug fit. Made of spring steel, they flex under stress and shock and can handle oscillating or slow rotational motion.

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.

With no moving parts, these bearings are the plainest way to support thrust loads while reducing friction. They don't come with lubricant, so you can choose the oil that's best for your application. Make sure to mount them where they're easy to access, since you'll need to replenish the oil frequently. All are fabricated and inspected in the U.S.

Lightweight alternatives to metal two-piece collars for weight-sensitive applications. Attach these collars anywhere along a shaft when other components are already installed or you can't access the ends. They clamp firmly and evenly without marring the shaft, so you can reposition or remove them later.

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.

Wider and thicker with a larger clamping screw, these shaft collars deliver a stronger grip than standard collars. Slide them from one end of your shaft and tighten the screw. They clamp firmly and evenly without marring the shaft, so you can reposition or remove them later.

Our strongest shaft collars withstand up to three times the thrust load (force parallel to the shaft) of standard collars. Slide them from one end of your shaft and turn the clamping screws. As the collar tightens, an embedded sleeve spreads force evenly for a firm grip that won't mar the shaft.

Flip the lever to install, reposition, and remove these collars. They clamp firmly and evenly without marring your shaft.

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.
