3J-9785: Straight Sleeve Bearing

A Sleeve Bearing sometimes called bushings, journal bearings, or plain bearings facilitates motion between two components. They can serve multiple purposes at the same time: constrain motion, serve as a guide, provide support, and reduce friction. They work with linear, rotating, and oscillating motion. Sleeve bearings are cylindrical and straight, as opposed to tapered or conical. Sleeve bearings are made of metal, plastic, or fiber-reinforced composite sleeves. Attributes: • Manufactured to precise specifications and are built for durability, reliability, and productivity. • Greatly reduce noise at low speeds. • Provides mechanical stability with low coefficients of friction. • Can handle radial load and thrust loads. • Provides shock load resistance due to their greater contact zone. Applications: A Straight Sleeve Bearing is used to reduce the friction between the moving parts.
