High-Temperature Dry-Running Sleeve Bearings
Graphite provides a layer of dry lubrication that operates in high-temperature environments.
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.

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.

Ultra-Low-Friction Oil-Embedded 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.
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 Ultra-Low-Friction Oil-Embedded Sleeve Bearings

With extra iron and filled with oil containing slippery PTFE, these bearings support heavy loads that frequently start and stop along shafts. Startup friction causes a thin layer of oil to release onto the surface. Their high iron content also means they resist failing if their load suddenly and drastically increases, but they won’t run as fast as standard 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 Oil-Embedded Sleeve Bearings

The oil in these bearings is suitable for incidental contact with food. Startup friction produces a thin layer of oil on 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 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.
