High-Temperature Dry-Running Sleeve Bearings
Graphite provides a layer of dry lubrication that operates in high-temperature environments.
841 bearing bronze bearings are porous and embedded with graphite for continuous lubrication.
932 bearing bronze bearings are cast, making them strong, wear resistant, and excellent at handling shock loads. They are sometimes called 660 leaded bronze bearings.
Grooved bearings have a graphite-filled groove on the inside of the bearing that distributes lubricant evenly along the bearing’s surface.
Note: Dynamic load capacity is the maximum load a bearing can withstand at a given shaft speed. If your application’s load and speed requirements are below the values listed, the bearing will work.

Multipurpose Dry-Running Sleeve Bearings
Reinforced with polyester fabric, these plastic bearings have load and speed capabilities comparable to metal bearings. Bearings resist corrosion in outdoor and saltwater environments.
Bearings with seals block out dust and contaminants.
Note: Dynamic load capacity is the maximum load a bearing can withstand at a given shaft speed. If your application’s load and speed requirements are below the values listed, the bearing will work.

Oil-Embedded Sleeve Bearings

Startup friction causes these bearings to release a thin layer of oil on the bearing’s surface. They are also known as Oilite® bearings.
Note: Dynamic load capacity is the maximum load a bearing can withstand at a given shaft speed. If your application’s load and speed requirements are below the values listed, the bearing will work.

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. Startup friction causes them to release a thin layer of oil on the bearing’s surface. Color is silver because of the iron. These bearings are also magnetic due to the high iron content.
863 iron-copper bearings are also known as Super Oilite® bearings.
Note: Dynamic load capacity is the maximum load a bearing can withstand at a given shaft speed. If your application’s load and speed requirements are below the values listed, the bearing will work.

Multipurpose Sleeve Bearings with Groove

A figure-8-shaped groove provides a flow path for lubricant, distributing it evenly along the bearing’s surface. Bearings are cast bronze, making them strong, wear resistant, and excellent at handling shock loads. 932 bearing bronze is sometimes called 660 leaded bronze.
Note: Dynamic load capacity is the maximum load a bearing can withstand at a given shaft speed. If your application’s load and speed requirements are below the values listed, the bearing will work.
