Sleeve Bearing - Unflanged

Sleeve Bearings - Unflanged

Sleeve bearings, also called sleeve bushings, are extremely thin-walled plain bearings designed to minimize friction and support smooth motion between shafts and surrounding machinery components; depending on the bearing design, they may use a bonded low-friction liner along the inner diameter or a self-lubricating material throughout. Sleeve bushings from PBC Linear use a bonded FrelonGOLD® liner along the inner diameter to provide low-friction, self-lubricating performance for linear, rotary, or oscillating movement. Some sleeve bearings include a flange, which is a raised rim or shoulder at one end of the bearing used for positioning, retention, or light thrust support. The products in this subcategory are unflanged, meaning they have a straight cylindrical profile without that flange. These unflanged sleeve bushings are designed for tight spaces and allow maintenance-free linear and rotational movement while helping reduce friction, wear, and vibration. They are well suited for harsh, dirty, shock-loaded, or high-temperature environments, with an operating temperature range of -400°F to +400°F (-240°C to +204°C).
