Sleeve Bearings

A sleeve bearing is a type of plain bearing that can handle high loads and velocities. Sleeve bearings help make engines run smoothly and quietly. These durable and long lasting bearings can also perform well in other high-load, high-velocity applications, such as machines and turbines.

Plain-sleeve bearings, also called plane, journal, or bushing bearings, resemble a hollow cylinder and are designed to fit around a shaft. Solid type plain-sleeve bearings handle radial loads effectively.
