    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.

    Sleeve Bearings

    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.

    Grooved Sleeve Bearings

    A figure-8-shaped groove provides a flow path for lubricant and distributes it evenly inside the bearing’s surface.

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.

    Dry-Running 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.
    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 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.

    Dry-Running Flanged Sleeve Bearings for Food and Beverage

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Flanged Sleeve Bearings. Dry-Running Flanged 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.
    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.
    Oil-Filled Moisture-Resistant UHMW Polyethylene—Oil can’t seep out because it is locked inside the bearing. These bearings are slicker than standard UHMW polyethylene thanks to an infusion of oil that reduces friction. Virtually nonabsorbent, these bearings will keep their shape after washdowns. However, they aren’t suitable for high-temperature treatments such as steam cleaning.

    Mounted Sleeve Bearings

    A reliable classic, these simple sleeve bearings are made from babbitt, a tough, corrosion-resistant alloy. With no moving parts, they withstand 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 port on top to keep your bearing running smoothly. The grooves distribute lubrication evenly across the bearing's surface.
    Powder-Coated Cast Iron Housing—A rugged iron base coated in thick powder that protects against water, mild detergents, and oil. However, if the coating is scratched or chipped, the underlying iron may rust.

    Light Duty Dry-Running Mounted Sleeve Bearings

    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.
    UHMW Polyethylene Housing—Virtually impervious to moisture, these solid plastic housings keep their shape during washdowns. However, they aren't suitable for steam cleanings and other high-temperature treatments.
    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.

    MDS-Filled Nylon—A step up from standard nylon bearings. Upgraded with fine particles of molybdenum disulfide (MDS), these bearings have extra lubricity and wear resistance. However, they’re still nylon, which 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.

    Easy-Access Mounted Sleeve 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.
    Powder-Coated Cast Iron Housing—A rugged iron base coated in thick powder that protects against water, mild detergents, and oil. However, if the coating is scratched or chipped, the underlying iron may rust.
