About Plain Bearings

Light Duty Dry-Running Flanged Sleeve Bearings

Use where high loads and speeds are not required.

High-Temperature Dry-Running
Flanged Sleeve Bearings

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

Easy-Install Dry-Running Flanged Sleeve Bearings

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

Food Industry Dry-Running Flanged Sleeve Bearings

Made of FDA listed materials for use in food applications, these bearings also withstand caustic and washdown environments.

High-Load Dry-Running Flanged Sleeve Bearings

An aluminum shell adds strength.

Ultra-Low-Friction Dry-Running
Flanged Sleeve Bearings

Use these bearings in applications with frequent starts and stops because they operate with very little friction.

Self-Aligning Dry-Running Flanged Sleeve Bearings

Compensating for minor shaft misalignment and not requiring lubrication, these sleeve bearings swivel to self-align and are dry running. They don’t need a housing and you can install and replace them without any tools because they’re slip fit.

Multipurpose Dry-Running Flanged Sleeve Bearings

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

Water-Resistant Dry-Running Flanged Sleeve Bearings

Good for underwater applications, these bearings won’t swell or warp when wet.

High-Speed Self-Aligning Dry-Running
Flanged Sleeve Bearings

Made of acetal with a PTFE filler, these bearings handle velocities up to twice as high as standard acetal bearings. They swivel to compensate for a small amount of shaft misalignment.

Chemical-Resistant Dry-Running
Flanged Sleeve Bearings

These bearings stand up to a wider range of chemicals than other dry-running 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.

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 Food Industry Oil-Embedded
Flanged Sleeve Bearings

Support heavy loads that are often found in bottling and filling lines in food plants—these bearings contain extra iron and FDA-compliant oil. They’re flanged, so they handle loads both parallel and perpendicular to the shaft.

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.

Food Industry Oil-Embedded Flanged Sleeve Bearings

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

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.

Multipurpose Flanged Sleeve Bearings

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

Corrosion-Resistant Flanged Sleeve Bearings

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.

Multipurpose Flanged Sleeve Bearings with Certification

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

Sleeve Bearings

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.

High-Load Dry-Running Sleeve Bearings

A metal shell adds strength.

Mounted Bearings

Dry-Running Mounted Sleeve
Bearings with Two-Bolt Flange

Embedded lubricant particles increase the load capacity of these bearings while also making them slippery.

Light Duty Dry-Running Mounted
Sleeve Bearings with Two-Bolt Flange

Use these nylon or acetal bearings for light loads. The closed backing blocks out dust and other contaminants.

Food Industry Dry-Running Mounted
Sleeve Bearings with Two-Bolt Flange

Made of FDA listed PEEK, these bearings are suitable for direct contact with food. The closed backing blocks out dust and other contaminants.

Extreme-Temperature Dry-Running Mounted
Sleeve Bearings with Two-Bolt Flange

Capable of handling temperatures from -400° to 750° F, these graphalloy bearings have the widest temperature range of any of our mounted bearings.

High-Speed Light Duty Dry-Running Mounted
Sleeve Bearings with Two-Bolt Flange

Made of acetal with a PTFE filling, these light duty bearings handle speeds twice as fast as standard acetal bearings can.

High-Speed Dry-Running Mounted
Sleeve Bearings with Two-Bolt Flange

Handling speeds twice as fast as standard mounted sleeve bearings while limiting wear on your system, these bearings are made of PTFE-filled acetal.

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.

Corrosion-Resistant Dry-Running
Mounted Sleeve Bearings

Use these UHMW bearings in wet, corrosive environments.

Mounted Sleeve Bearings with Four-Bolt Flange

With no moving parts, sleeve bearings are better for dirty environments than ball and roller bearings.

Vibration-Damping Grommets, Bushings, and Washers

Extreme-Temperature Vibration-Damping Bushings

In addition to having a wider temperature range than our other vibration-damping bushings, these have excellent weather resistance.

Vibration-Damping Bushings

Easier to install than grommets, push these bushings through your mounting hole to dampen vibration. Use them with a vibration-damping washer to isolate vibration.

Ribbed Vibration-Damping Bushings

Ribbed bushings are more flexible than our smooth vibration-damping bushings, so they're easier to install.

Extreme-Temperature Ribbed
Vibration-Damping Bushings

In addition to having a wider temperature range than our other ribbed vibration-damping bushings, these have excellent weather resistance.

Vibration-Damping Washers

Use these in place of normal washers to damp vibration and cushion your joint.

Extreme-Temperature Vibration-Damping Washers

In addition to having a wider temperature range than our other vibration-damping washers, these have excellent weather resistance.

Vibration-Damping Grommets

Press these grommets into a hole to add cushion on both sides.

Extreme-Temperature Vibration-Damping Grommets

In addition to having a wider temperature range than our other vibration-damping grommets, these have excellent weather resistance.

Extreme-Temperature Ribbed
Vibration-Damping Grommets

In addition to having a wider temperature range than our other ribbed vibration-damping grommets, these have excellent weather resistance.

Ribbed Vibration-Damping Grommets

Ribbed grommets are more flexible than our smooth vibration-damping grommets, so they're easier to install.

Flexible Shaft Couplings for Forward/Reverse Motion

Metal-Detectable Flexible Shaft Couplings

Safely connect slightly misaligned shafts near food lines—the spider on these couplings contains metal, so it’ll trigger a metal detector if a piece frays off and contaminates your batch.

Electrically Isolating Servomotor
Precision Flexible Shaft Couplings

An acetal plastic spacer at the center of these couplings insulates bearings, encoders, and other shaft components from stray electric current. Use them with servomotors, which sometimes generate current that travels down the shaft and can damage circuit boards, interfere with readings, and cause wear on bearing raceways.

Vibration-Damping Unthreaded Spacers

Reduce vibration, shock, and noise with these spacers that compress between components.

Mounted Linear Bearings for Spline Shafts

Ready to mount on your linear motion spline shaft, these bearings come installed in a housing and have grooves that match up with the splines on your shaft.
