A Straight Sleeve Bearing is a sliding contact bearing in which the surface of the shaft slides over the surface of the bush. It consists of a cylindrical sleeve with a smooth inner surface that allows a shaft to rotate inside it with minimal friction. The angle of contact of the bearing with the journal is 3600, therefore, it is a full journal bearing. With the addition of lubrication, sleeve bearings offer a low coefficient of friction and provide excellent wear resistance. This Sleeve Bearing is placed inside between the track link assembly to provide smooth operation.
Attributes:
• Designed to minimize friction between the shaft and the bearing surface
• Can accommodate misalignment between the shaft and the bearing surface
• Provided with a tapered diameter of 82.05mm at both ends
• Rockwell hardness of HRC 57-62 provided with wear resistance.
• Possesses high shock load resistance, minimizes vibration
Applications:
A Straight Sleeve Bearing is used in track link assembly to provide support undercarriage system, generally used to reduce the friction between the moving parts.
