A slit running along the length of these bearings allows you to quickly slip them into a housing—no tools required.

Reinforced with polyester fabric, these plastic bearings have load and speed capabilities comparable to metal bearings.

Startup friction causes these bearings to release a thin layer of oil on the bearing’s surface. They’re flanged, so they handle loads both parallel and perpendicular to the shaft. They’re also known as Oilite® bearings.

For applications with frequent starts and stops, the oil in these bearings contains particles of slippery PTFE that lubricate the bearing during startup.

The addition of iron and aluminum gives these aluminum-bronze bearings high strength and excellent corrosion resistance—making them suitable for use in marine and mining applications.
