A 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. This Sleeve Bearing is placed inside the head of the cylinder assembly to provide smooth operation of the piston rod.

Attributes:
• Manufactured to precise specifications and are built for durability, reliability, and productivity.
• Greatly reduce noise at low speeds.
• Provides mechanical stability with low coefficients of friction.
• Can handle the radial load and thrust loads.
• Provides shock load resistance due to their greater contact zone.

Applications:
A Straight Sleeve Bearing is used in Stick Cylinder to provide support for the piston rod as it moves in and out of the cylinder, generally used to reduce the friction between the moving parts.
