587-5256: 44.45mm Inner Diameter Sleeve Bearing

A Plain Bearing, also known as a sleeve bearing or journal bearing, is a type of bearing that uses a sliding motion between two surfaces to reduce friction and support a rotating or moving shaft. The bearing consists of a metal or polymer sleeve that fits around the shaft and is supported by a housing. To ensure proper operation of a plain bearing, it is important to provide adequate lubrication, as this will help to reduce friction and prevent wear. Attributes: • The surface of the sleeve can be smooth or grooved • Manufactured to precise specifications and are built for durability and reliability • Quiet operation due to lack of moving parts Applications: A Plain Bearing is used in the frame and body of the vehicles to support the shaft in the frame.
