Plain & Sleeve Bearings

The most basic bearing technology includes both plain and sleeve bearings. Unlike their counterparts they work using a sliding action instead of the standard rolling action of a ball, needle or roller bearing. This bearing technology is appropriate for a wide range of applications including automotive equipment, food processing machinery and packaging equipment. One of the benefits with this type of bearing is that they can be used in various temperature extremes, corrosive applications, submersible applications and limited shaft movement applications. Special tip when inquiring about these bearings should be housing type and shaft diameter of your application.
