Description:
A Straight Sleeve Bearing sometimes called bushings, journal bearings, or plain bearings facilitates motion between two components. They are appropriate for a variety of heavy-duty applications because of their high load capacity. Sleeve bearings are made of metal, plastic, or fiber-reinforced composite sleeves.
 
Attributes:
 • Manufactured to precise specifications and are built for durability, reliability, and productivity.
 • Greatly reduce noise at low speeds.
 • Handle the radial load and thrust loads.
 • Offers lower overall cost, outstanding strength and fatigue life, and superior resistance to abrasive wear.

Applications:
A Straight Sleeve Bearing is used to reduce the friction between the moving parts and is used in various systems like Bucket Links and various Hoe Stick, mostly used in CAT 301.4C, 301.7D, 302.2D, 302.4D, and 302.7D Excavators.
