580-7692: Straight Sleeve Bearing

Description: A Straight Sleeve Bearing sometimes called bushings, journal bearings or plain bearings facilitates motion between two components. They are appropriate for a variety of heavy-duty applications because of their high load capacity. A sleeve bearing is a type of bearing device that creates a friction-free surface between two rotating components. It provides a smooth surface for one part to rotate against, reducing friction and wear between the two parts. This Sleeve Bearing is placed inside the head of the cylinder assembly to provide smooth operation of the piston rod. Attributes: • Provides mechanical stability with low coefficients of friction. • Can handle radial load and thrust loads. Applications: A Straight Sleeve Bearing is used in Bucket Cylinder to provide support for the piston rod as it moves in and out of the cylinder, generally used to reduce the friction between the moving parts. Widely used in Cat 313D2 Excavators.
