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. A sleeve bearing is a type of bearing device that creates a friction-free surface between two rotating components. It provides a smooth surface for one part to rotate against, reducing friction and wear between the two parts. This Sleeve Bearing is placed at the end of the cylinder assembly to provide smooth operation of the piston rod.

Attributes:
• Reduce noise at low speeds.
• Provides shock load resistance due to their greater contact zone.

Applications:
A Straight Sleeve Bearing is used in Lift 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. Mostly used in Cat 424B Hd, 424B, and 424B2 Backhoe Loaders.
