    Sleeve Bearings

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Sleeve Bearings. 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-Strength 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.

    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.
    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.

    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-Strength Ultra-Chemical-Resistant Polyester Fabric-Reinforced PTFE—Woven polyester resin reinforces these PTFE bearings to support loads and speeds comparable to metal bearings. Similar to other PTFE options, they are unaffected by the harsh fluids that other plastics can't handle, including all strong acids and bases.
    Moisture-Resistant Ultra-Low-Friction Plastic Blend—These bearings won't warp or swell from humidity or direct contact with water. They glide effortlessly for applications with frequent starts and stops, such as conveyor systems.

    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.

    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.
    Moisture-Resistant Plastic Blend—Similar to UHMW, these bearings will keep their shape after washdowns but won’t hold up to steam cleaning. They're bright blue so they are easy to spot if they fall into your production line.

    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-Strength 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. Also known as Oilite® bearings.

    Our slipperiest metal bearings, these are ideal for machinery with frequent starts and stops, such as conveyors. With nonstick PTFE particles added to the oil, they reduce friction to minimize wear and heat, so equipment runs more efficiently and lasts longer. All are fabricated, lubricated, and inspected in the U.S.
