A Sleeve Bearing provides a low-friction surface for rotational motion between two parts. It works by creating a thin film of lubricant between the rotating shaft and the inner surface of the bearing. This lubricant film forms a boundary that separates the two surfaces, reducing direct contact and friction. As the shaft rotates, it rides on this lubricating film, allowing for smooth and efficient motion.

Attributes:
• Provide smooth and quiet operation due to the thin lubricating film
• Can handle high shock and impact loads
• Made of steel for improved hardness and strength

Applications:
A Sleeve Bearing is used in a radiator fan to support the fan shaft and allow it to rotate freely.
