About Plain Bearings

932 Bearing Bronze Tubes

Offering excellent antifriction qualities, 932 bronze also offers good strength and wear resistance. It's also known as SAE 660 and is often used for bearings, bushings, and thrust washers.

Tight-Tolerance 932 Bearing Bronze Rods

These rods are precision ground for a tight diameter tolerance of ±0.0005".

Oversized 932 Bearing Bronze Rods

Diameter is oversized to allow for finishing.

Oversized 932 Bearing Bronze Bars

The thickness and width are oversized to allow for finishing.

Tight-Tolerance 932 Bearing Bronze Bars

Precision ground on the top and bottom, these bars have a tight thickness tolerance of ±0.002".

Oil-Filled 841 Bearing Bronze Rods

Powdered bronze is pressed and then impregnated with SAE 30 oil to make this material self-lubricating.

Oil-Filled 841 Bearing Bronze Tubes

Powdered bronze is pressed and then impregnated with SAE 30 oil to make this material self-lubricating.

Easy-to-Machine 936 Bearing Bronze Rods

An easier-to-machine alternative to 932 bronze, 936 also has better corrosion resistance. It's also called modified SAE 64.

Oil-Filled 840 and 841 Bearing Bronze Sheets

Powdered bronze is pressed and then impregnated with SAE 30 oil to make this material self-lubricating.

High-Temperature Graphite-Filled
841 Bearing Bronze Tubes

An excellent alternative to oil-filled bronze, graphite-filled bronze provides dry lubrication in temperatures as high as 700° F.

Easy-to-Machine 936 Bearing Bronze Tubes

An easier-to-machine alternative to 932 bronze, 936 also has better corrosion resistance. It's also called modified SAE 64.

Easy-to-Machine 936 Bearing Bronze Bars

An easier-to-machine alternative to 932 bronze, 936 also has better corrosion resistance. It's also called modified SAE 64.

High-Temperature Graphite-Filled
841 Bearing Bronze Rods

An excellent alternative to oil-filled bronze, graphite-filled bronze provides dry lubrication in temperatures as high as 700° F.

Sleeve Bearings

Oil-Embedded Sleeve Bearings

Also known as Oilite® bearings.

High-Load Oil-Embedded Sleeve Bearings

Increased iron content makes these bearings stronger and more resistant to shock loads than standard oil-embedded bearings; however they operate at lower speeds.

High-Load Ultra-Low-Friction
Oil-Embedded Sleeve Bearings

Use these bearings for frequent starts and stops in high-load applications.

Ultra-Low-Friction Oil-Embedded Sleeve Bearings

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

Food Industry Oil-Embedded Sleeve Bearings

The oil in these bearings is suitable for incidental contact with food.

Panel-Mount Oil-Embedded Sleeve Bearings

Unlike other sleeve bearings, these do not need to be fully inserted into a housing. Their unique shape creates a permanent, secure hold in thin panels.

Vibration-Damping Oil-Embedded Sleeve Bearings

With a flexible layer of rubber sandwiched between an oil-embedded bronze bearing and rigid metal shell, these bearings reduce wear and machinery noise.

Multipurpose Sleeve Bearings

These leaded bronze bearings are strong, wear resistant, and excellent at handling shock loads.

Multipurpose Sleeve Bearings with Groove

A figure-8-shaped groove provides a flow path for lubricant, distributing it evenly along the bearing’s surface.

High-Temperature Dry-Running Sleeve Bearings

Graphite provides a layer of dry lubrication that can operate in high-temperature environments.

Flanged Sleeve Bearings

High-Load Oil-Embedded Flanged Sleeve Bearings

Increased iron content makes these bearings stronger and more resistant to shock loads than standard oil-embedded bearings; however they operate at lower speeds.

Oil-Embedded Flanged Sleeve Bearings

Also known as Oilite® bearings.

High-Load Food Industry Oil-Embedded
Flanged Sleeve Bearings

Embedded with lubricant that’s FDA compliant for incidental food contact, these bearings are good for high-load applications such as bottling and filling lines in food plants.

Ultra-Low-Friction Oil-Embedded
Flanged Sleeve Bearings

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

High-Load Ultra-Low-Friction
Oil-Embedded Flanged Sleeve Bearings

With oil for reduced friction and iron for added strength, these bearings handle frequent stops and starts in high-load applications.

Oil-Embedded Flanged Sleeve
Bearings with Certification

These bearings come with a traceable lot number and material test report. They are also known as Oilite® bearings.

Food Industry Oil-Embedded Flanged Sleeve Bearings

The oil in these bearings is suitable for incidental contact with food.

Multipurpose Flanged Sleeve Bearings

These leaded bronze bearings are strong, wear resistant, and excellent at handling shock loads.

Multipurpose Flanged Sleeve Bearings with Certification

Furnished with a traceable lot number and material test report, these leaded bronze bearings are strong, wear resistant, and excellent at handling shock loads.

High-Temperature Dry-Running
Flanged Sleeve Bearings

Graphite provides a layer of dry lubrication that operates in high-temperature environments.

Thrust Bearings

Multipurpose Thrust Bearings

These leaded bronze bearings are strong, wear resistant, and excellent at handling shock loads.

High-Load Food Industry
Oil-Embedded Thrust Bearings

Made of 863 bearing bronze and embedded with NSF registered H1 oil, these bearings can tackle high-load applications in food plants, such as bottling and filling lines.

Oil-Embedded Thrust Bearings

Also known as Oilite® bearings.

High-Load Ultra-Low-Friction
Oil-Embedded Thrust Bearings

Use these bearings for frequent starts and stops in high-load applications. For low friction coefficients, they release a thin layer of an embedded PTFE lubricant during startup friction.

Ultra-Low-Friction Oil-Embedded Thrust Bearings

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

Food Industry Oil-Embedded Thrust Bearings

The oil in these bearings is suitable for incidental contact with food.

High-Load Oil-Embedded Thrust Bearings

Increased iron content makes these bearings stronger and more resistant to shock loads than standard oil-embedded bearings; however they operate at lower speeds.

High-Temperature Dry-Running Thrust Bearings

Graphite provides a layer of dry lubrication that operates in high-temperature environments.

Mounted Bearings

High-Speed Oil-Embedded Mounted Sleeve Bearings

A strong steel housing allows these bearings to handle higher speeds than standard oil-embedded mounted sleeve bearings.

Oil-Embedded Mounted Sleeve Bearings

Startup friction causes these porous bronze bearings to release a thin layer of oil on the bearing’s surface.

Vibration-Damping Oil-Embedded
Mounted Sleeve Bearings

With a flexible layer of neoprene sandwiched between an oil-embedded bronze bearing and rigid steel shell, these bearings reduce wear and machinery noise.

Oil-Embedded Mounted Sleeve
Bearings with Two-Bolt Flange

Startup friction causes these porous bronze bearings to release a thin layer of oil on the bearing’s surface.
