241-3145: Straight Sleeve Bearing

A Straight Sleeve Bearing is a sliding contact bearing in which the surface of the shaft slides over the surface of the bush. It consists of a cylindrical sleeve with a smooth inner surface that allows a shaft to rotate inside it with minimal friction. The oil grooves are cut into the plain bearing surfaces to assist in the distribution of the oil between the rubbing surfaces. Attributes: Surface Hardness is HRB 70 (minimum)and density lies in the range of 6-6.5 g/cm3 providing better strength and wear resistance. Sintered for improving strength and to enhance self-lubricating quality Possesses high shock load resistance and minimizes vibration Applications: A Straight Sleeve Bearing is suitable for applications where press fitting into a housing bore is the most practical bearing retention method. Predominantly used in Cat® 904B and 904H Wheel Loader
