Finish-Your-Own Press-Fit Drill Bushings

Larger OD tolerances than standard press-fit bushings allow finishing. These bushings should be machine ground. Mount flush with jig plates for precise drilling. Drill bushings can also be used as spacers, shims, and machinery bushings.

Drill Bushings for Plastic

Serrations line the sides of these bushings to keep them from spinning while you drill. Also known as jig bushings, they’re pressed or molded into plastic tooling to guide drill bits, counterbores, and reamers. They help you create consistent, accurate holes from part to part.
Also Available: Other sizes. Please select 3378A999 and specify ID, OD, and length.

Secure-Hold Drill Bushings for Plastic

Designed to grip slippery plastic, the knurls on these bushings keep them from spinning while you drill. Their hold is stronger than serrated bushings, so they can withstand more force. Press or mold into plastic tooling to guide your drill bit and create accurate, consistent holes.

Food Industry Dry-Running Sleeve Bearings

Made of FDA-listed materials or FDA compliant, these bearings are for use in food applications. They also withstand caustic and washdown environments.
Note: Dynamic load capacity is the maximum load a bearing can withstand at a given shaft speed. If your application’s load and speed requirements are below the values listed, the bearing will work.

High-Load Oil-Embedded Flanged Sleeve Bearings

Increased iron content makes these bearings stronger and more resistant to shock loads than standard oil-embedded bearings; however they operate at lower speeds. Startup friction causes these bearings to release a thin layer of oil onto their surface. Color is silver because of the iron.
863 iron-copper bearings are also known as Super Oilite® bearings.
Note: Dynamic load capacity is the maximum load a bearing can withstand at a given shaft speed. If your application’s load and speed requirements are below the values listed, the bearing will work.
