    Also known as jig bushings, these drill bushings fit inside fixture plate holes to precisely guide drill bits, counterbores, reamers, and other cutting tools. They improve accuracy so your drilled holes and cuts are consistent from part to part. Known for their versatility, drill bushings are also used as spacers, shims, and machinery bushings.
    Press into place with a manual or hydraulic press. Since these bushings are sized slightly larger than the hole for an extremely tight fit, they’ll stay put permanently. These are ANSI Type P bushings—also known as headless bushings—which means you don’t need to counterbore the hole to mount them flush.

    A flanged head on these bushings acts as a stop, so they won’t press through your jig even under extreme drilling pressure. They’re ANSI Type H bushings, also known as headed bushings. The head adds support and protects the jig from damage caused by heavy use, so they’re often used in jigs made of thin or soft materials. These bushings guide your drill bit, reamer, or other cutting bit to create accurate, consistent holes from one workpiece to the next. They’re also used as spacers, shims, and machinery bushings. Made of hardened, ground steel, they hold their shape and resist wear, so they last for many cycles without needing to be replaced.
    To install, fit the bushing into a hole in your jig. In a standard hole, the head will sit above the jig plate; to mount flush, install in a countersunk hole. A chamfered edge on the bottom of the bushing helps center the bushing in the hole. Once it’s centered, press the bushing into place with a hydraulic or lever press.

    Drill holes close together. These bushings have a thinner wall than typical bushings to fit side by side in a fixture plate. Also known as jig bushings, they precisely guide bits and other cutting tools to ensure holes and cuts are consistent from part to part. You can also use them as spacers, shims, and machinery bushings. Made of hardened, ground steel, they resist wear and last for many cycles without needing to be replaced. Since their wall is so thin, these bushings may be slightly oval when you receive them but will conform to the shape of your hole.
    Press into place with a manual or hydraulic press. Since these bushings are sized slightly larger than the hole for an extremely tight fit, they’ll stay put permanently. These are ANSI Type P bushings—also known as headless bushings—which means you don’t need to counterbore the hole to mount them flush.

    Replace worn bushings and quickly change IDs without needing to repeatedly use a lever press. Instead of pressing bushings in and out of your jig fixture, which can cause damage, these bushings slide in and out of sleeves (sold separately). By swapping in a bushing with a different ID, you can change the size of your bit and still use the same hole in your fixture. All are made to tight dimensional tolerances for consistent, accurate results, even as you change them in and out. They're also known as slip-fixed and renewable bushings.
    Choose a sleeve with a length that matches the length of your bushing. To prevent bushings from spinning inside the sleeve as you drill, pair a standard sleeve with a lock screw, or use a locking sleeve. For faster placement in and removal from sleeves, use a handle.

    Unlike most bushings, these won’t buckle the material or distort the hole when installed in thin-gauge aluminum and steel fixture plates. They’re held in place by a lock ring (sold separately), so they’re easy to remove and reuse. Also known as jig bushings, they accurately guide drill bits, counterbores, reamers, and other cutting tools. Use them to make sure your drilled holes and cuts are consistent from part to part.

    Dry-Running Sleeve Bearings for Food and Beverage

    Made of plastics permitted by the US FDA for contact with food, these bearings won’t release harmful, smelly, and distasteful impurities into your food or beverage production line. These self-lubricating plastics eliminate the need for oil, resulting in less maintenance and improved hygiene. You’ll find them inside food-processing equipment such as mixers, conveyors, and fillers.
    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.
    Moisture-Resistant UHMW Polyethylene—Virtually nonabsorbent, these bearings will keep their shape after washdowns. However, they aren’t suitable for high-temperature treatments such as steam cleaning.

    Oil-Embedded Flanged Sleeve Bearings

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Flanged Sleeve Bearings. Oil-Embedded Flanged 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.
    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.
    High-Load 863 Iron Copper—Iron makes these bearings harder, stronger, and more resistant to sudden starts and stops than 841 bearing bronze. However, they operate at slower speeds. The increased iron content makes these bearings appear silver.
    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.

    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.

    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.
    High-Load Moisture-Resistant Rulon LR—Won’t swell in wet or humid places, similar to acetal, but can support higher loads. These bearings also operate smoothly from cryogenic to oven-like temperatures.
