388-2516: 70mm Outside Diameter 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 angle of contact of the bearing with the journal is 360°, therefore, it is a full journal bearing. With the addition of lubrication, sleeve bearings offer a low coefficient of friction and provide excellent wear resistance. Attributes: • Manufactured to precise specifications and are built for durability, reliability, and productivity. • Can accommodate misalignment between the shaft and the bearing surface • Provided with internal spiral grooves. • Possesses high shock load resistance, minimizes vibration (and therefore noise) Applications: A Straight Sleeve Bearing is used inside the housing assembly to provide support front steering axle, generally used to reduce the friction between the moving part.
