A Sleeve Bearing, also known as a plain bearing or bushing, provides a sliding surface between two parts. It consists of a cylindrical metal sleeve that encases a shaft, allowing it to rotate smoothly within the bearing. The inner surface of the sleeve is lined with a lubricating material to reduce friction and wear. Sleeve bearings are valued for their simplicity, durability, and ability to operate in harsh conditions.Attributes:• Allows smooth and friction-free rotation.• Inner surface often lined with lubricating material.• Resistant to wear and abrasion.Applications: A Sleeve Bearing is used to support rotating shafts facilitate smooth motion and reduce friction and wear, ensuring the longevity and efficiency of machinery operations. Their versatility and reliability make them a preferred choice in using them as rod bushings in cylinders.
