    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    These bearings don’t come with a lubricant, so you can select the oil that meets the needs of your application. You’ll need to refill the oil, so make sure the bearing is located where you can access it. All are fabricated 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.
    High-Load 932 Bearing Bronze—These bearings are strong enough for sudden starts and stops, plus they resist wear and tear. They are cast from an alloy of leaded tin bronze for uniform rigidity and strength. Also known as 660 leaded bronze bearings.
    High-Load Chemical-Resistant 954 Bearing Bronze—The strongest of our bronze bearings. The addition of iron and aluminum makes them exceptionally strong and resistant to chemicals. They’re often used in the most demanding environments, such as salt mines. Also known as aluminum bronze.

    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.
    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.

    Grooved Sleeve Bearings

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Sleeve Bearings. Grooved Sleeve Bearings.
    A figure-8-shaped groove provides a flow path for lubricant and distributes it evenly inside the bearing’s surface. A refill hole on the outside lets you inject your lubricant straight into the groove. These bearings don’t come with a lubricant, so you can select the oil that meets the needs of your application. You’ll need to refill the oil, so make sure the bearing is located where you can access it. All are fabricated 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.
    High-Load Chemical-Resistant 954 Bearing Bronze—The strongest of our bronze bearings. The addition of iron and aluminum makes them exceptionally strong and resistant to chemicals. They’re often used in the most demanding environments, such as salt mines. Also known as aluminum bronze.

    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.
    Nylon—The most popular choice, nylon is wear resistant yet economical. Keep in mind, though, that it will swell and weaken when exposed to moisture.
    Moisture-Resistant Acetal—These bearings won’t warp or swell from humidity or direct contact with water, unlike nylon.
    Ultra-Chemical-Resistant PTFE—The most chemical-resistant bearings we offer. PTFE is unaffected by the harsh fluids that other plastics can't handle, including all strong acids and bases. PTFE also reduces friction better than nylon but is not as strong.

    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.
    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.

    Soak up vibrations to muffle the rumbles from heavy machinery. The rubber layer on the inside of these simple sleeve bearings flexes to align the shaft and reduce rattling. They're often used with compressors and other equipment that suddenly starts and stops. Made from porous, oil-saturated bronze, these bearings release their own lubrication on startup, reducing the need for frequent relubrication.
    With no moving parts, sleeve bearings stand up to dusty, dirty conditions better than ball bearings. However, with more friction generated, they're less effective at high speeds.
    Steel Housing—Best for dry environments as moisture will cause them to rust.
    Misalignment Capability—Bearings compensate for as much shaft misalignment as the degree listed. This extends the life of the bearing and protects against wear if shafts are slightly askew.

    Leave the lubricant in the supply closet—these low-maintenance bearings are made from naturally slippery plastic. They'll keep shafts spinning with no messy grease to drip off, wash out, or collect dust. With no moving parts, sleeve bearings stand up to grimy environments better than ball bearings. However, with more friction generated, they're less effective at high speeds. The sturdy housing supports the shaft and secures with a two-bolt flange, the most common type of flanged bearing.
    Acetal—The most common choice for plastic bearings, acetal is wear-resistant and affordable.
    Aluminum Housing—One-third the weight of cast iron but not as strong. Aluminum also resists corrosion.
    Misalignment Capability—Bearings compensate for as much shaft misalignment as the degree listed. This extends the life of the bearing and protects against wear if shafts are slightly askew.

    With simple, lightweight designs, these bearings are a cost-effective option when extreme precision isn't necessary. Less stable than bearings with forged, one-piece housings, they're good for hand-cranked systems, gravity feed conveyor rollers, and other low-speed applications. The sleeve inside is made from naturally slick plastic, so there's no messy grease to drip off, wash out, or collect dust. With no moving parts, sleeve bearings stand up to grimy environments better than ball bearings. However, with more friction generated, they're less effective at high speeds.
    304 Stainless Steel Housing—Made of thin pressed metal, these housings prevent rust from exposure to moisture and mild chemicals, including ammonia-based cleaning solutions.
