High-Load Dry-Running Sleeve Bearings
Plastic Bearings
with Steel Shell
A metal shell adds strength.
Bronze-backed PTFE bearings with steel shell combine high-load and high-speed capabilities. They resist swelling when exposed to moisture and are electrically conductive.
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.

Ultra-Low-Friction Dry-Running Sleeve Bearings
Use these bearings in applications with frequent starts and stops because they operate with very little friction.
Rulon J bearings handle higher operating temperatures than PTFE or thermoplastic-blend bearings.
Thermoplastic-blend bearings create the least amount of friction of any bearings that we offer. They handle heavier loads than PTFE and Rulon J 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.

Food Industry Dry-Running Sleeve Bearings
Made of FDA-listed materials or FDA compliant, these bearings are for use in food applications. They also withstand caustic and washdown environments.
Rulon 641 bearings are stronger than UHMW and acetal bearings, and withstand a wider range of temperatures.
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.
