7U-7345: Flanged Sleeve Bearing

A Flanged Sleeve Bearing is a sliding contact bearing with a flange at one end extending radially outward from the outside diameter. The Flanged Sleeve Bearings have a flange integral with the outer ring to axially constrain the bearing which helps to reduce mounting complexity and cost. The oil grooves are cut into the bearing surfaces which act as oil reservoirs to hold and distribute the oil between the rubbing surfaces. Attributes: • Thin wall construction prevents excessive heat build-up that could cause bearing failure • Minimise friction between the shaft and the bearing surface • Possesses high shock load resistance, and minimizes vibration. Applications: A Flanged Sleeve Bearing is suitable for applications where press fitting into a housing bore is the most practical bearing retention method.
