    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.
    Mineral Oil Base—Mineral oil consistently lubricates at most temperatures but doesn’t last as long as synthetic oil.
    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.

    High-Torque Set Screw Flexible Shaft Couplings

    The thick split spider on these couplings takes on twice as much torque as standard split spiders, while a set screw holds the hubs in place on your shaft. Also known as jaw couplings, use them to connect motors to pumps, mixers, and other high-torque equipment. You don’t need to lubricate them.
    For a complete coupling, you’ll need two hubs, one split spider, and a split spider cover (all sold separately).
    Hubs attach to the end of your shaft.
    Split spiders cushion between the two hubs to dampen vibration, reduce shocks, and handle shaft misalignment, extending the life of bearings, seals, and motors. You can replace them without having to remove the hubs or move your shaft and equipment around, which reduces the risk of needing to realign the shaft.
    Split spider covers hold the spider in place.

    Set Screw Shaft Collars

    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.
    Black-Oxide Carbon Steel—Dark and matted for a finished look, but with minimal corrosion resistance. Best for dry environments.
    Zinc-Plated Carbon Steel—A step up from plain carbon steel collars, these withstand occasional exposure to moisture.
    303 Stainless Steel—Withstand moisture and mild cleaning solutions, such as acetone and ammonia. These are easier to machine than other stainless steel collars.
    316 Stainless Steel—More corrosion resistant than 303 stainless steel collars. These collars withstand salt water and harsh chemicals, such as bleach, chlorine, and phosphoric acid.
    Aluminum—One-third the weight of steel and corrosion resistant.

    Each hub includes a set screw (unless noted), which bites into your shaft to hold the coupling in place. Also known as Lovejoy® couplings, these three-piece couplings have a spider-shaped cushion between two hubs to reduce shock and handle minor shaft misalignment.
    A complete coupling consists of two hubs and one spider, or two hubs, one split spider, and one retaining ring (all components sold separately). Split spiders are easier to install and replace than standard spiders because there’s no need for tools or removing your hubs. Twist-lock them in place using a retaining ring.
    Buna-N—Buna-N spiders provide good vibration damping and chemical resistance.
    Hytrel—Hytrel spiders provide fair vibration damping and excellent chemical resistance.
