    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.
    High-Strength Chemical-Resistant 954 Bearing Bronze—The strongest of our bronze bearings. The addition of iron and aluminum makes them exceptionally strong and resistant to chemicals. They’re often used in the most demanding environments, such as salt mines. Also known as aluminum bronze.

    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.
    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.

    Oil-Embedded Sleeve Bearings

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Sleeve Bearings. 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.
    Extreme-Strength Heat-Treated Iron Copper—Our strongest oil-embedded sleeve bearings. They’re heat treated to form a uniform internal grain that makes them stronger than 863 iron copper. As a result, they’re often used to support extreme loads in earth-moving equipment and railroad applications. The increased iron content makes these bearings appear silver.
    Mineral Oil Base—Mineral oil consistently lubricates at most temperatures but doesn’t last as long as synthetic oil.
    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.

    High-Temperature Graphite-Lubricated Sleeve Bearings

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Sleeve Bearings. High-Temperature Graphite-Lubricated Sleeve Bearings.
    Made of a graphite and metal alloy, these bearings stay slippery at high temperatures where oil burns off and other bearings fail. With no need for refills, they require little to no maintenance. You’ll find them in pumps, propellers, and mixers that spin near steam or inside ovens. However, graphite may eventually flake off, dropping flecks and leaving smudges. If you need a spic-and-span space, consider dry-running bearings made of slippery plastic instead. 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.
    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.
    High-Strength Chemical-Resistant 954 Bearing Bronze—The strongest of our bronze bearings. The addition of iron and aluminum makes them exceptionally strong and resistant to chemicals. They’re often used in the most demanding environments, such as salt mines. Also known as aluminum bronze.

    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.

    Vibration-Damping Oil-Embedded Sleeve Bearings

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Sleeve Bearings. Vibration-Damping Oil-Embedded Sleeve Bearings.
    These bearings quiet equipment by absorbing vibration. The rubber layer on the inside of these bearings flexes to align the shaft and reduce rattling. The bronze core is made from porous metal and saturated with oil to reduce maintenance and downtime. They’re used in compressors, engine mounts, and other vibrating equipment that suddenly starts and stops.
    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 with 304 Stainless Steel Shell—The choice for most wet locations. These bearings won't corrode after washdowns and can stand up to most detergents and oil.

    Dry-Running Sleeve Bearings for Food and Beverage

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Sleeve Bearings. Dry-Running 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.
    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.
    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.
