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.

Flanged Sleeve Bearings The flange acts as a built-in thrust bearing, allowing the bearing to support combined radial (perpendicular to the shaft) and thrust loads (parallel to the shaft). Mounted Bearings.
