Sleeve Bearings

Our sleeve bearings are manufactured in the United States and have been used around the world in the most demanding applications for over 20 years. Our bearings are in thousands of installations, including power generation, ovens, conveyors, kilns, ventilation units, and more. We stock a variety of bearing housings in solid and fully split, including all common mounted flanges, for bores up to 6 inches. Sleeve bearings provide efficient, low-maintenance support for rotating shafts in industrial and heavy-duty applications. Designed for smooth operation, reduced wear, and high load capacity, these bearings are ideal for conveyors, power transmission systems, and low-speed rotating equipment.

Our selection includes a comprehensive range of sleeve bearings, including solid, split, and steel-backed inserts, to meet the unique requirements of various industries.
