    Dry-Running Metal-Reinforced Plastic Sleeve Bearings

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Sleeve Bearings. Dry-Running Metal-Reinforced Plastic Sleeve Bearings.
    Combine slippery plastic with the strength of metal. The PTFE core is naturally slippery, so you’ll never have to add lubricant. These bearings also keep your workspace clean with no lubricant to drip or flake and attract dust. Compared to all-metal bearings, they are lighter.
    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.
    Bronze-Backed PTFE with Steel Shell—A good all-around, economical choice. Although these bearings are stronger than aluminum, they can only be used in dry environments where corrosion is not a concern.

    Dry-Running Flanged Sleeve Bearings

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Flanged Sleeve Bearings. Dry-Running Flanged 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.
    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-Load PEEK—Get the strength of reinforced PTFE without compromising on heat resistance. With no additives, such as polyester fabric, PEEK bearings won’t melt at high temperatures. They’re also nearly as slippery and chemical resistant as plain PTFE.
    High-Load Moisture-Resistant Rulon LR—Won’t swell in wet or humid places, similar to acetal, but can support higher loads. These bearings also operate smoothly from cryogenic to oven-like temperatures.
    Ultra-Low-Friction Rulon J—These bearings glide effortlessly for applications with frequent starts and stops, such as conveyor systems.
    High-Load Ultra-Low-Friction Plastic Blend—Create the least amount of friction of any bearings that we offer. They handle heavier loads than Rulon J bearings but can't withstand the same extreme temperatures.

    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.
    Ultra-Low-Friction Rulon 641—Get effortless motion with strength surpassing UHMW polyethylene. Rulon 641 bearings can also operate from cryogenic to oven-like temperatures.
