The Sleeve bearing, also known as plain bearings, uses a thin layer of lubricant to separate a rotating shaft from a stationary housing. In a transmission oil pump, the sleeve bearing is located between the pump shaft and the pump housing. When the pump shaft rotates, it creates a thin film of oil between the shaft and the bearing. This film of oil lubricates the bearing and reduces friction.Attributes: • Capable of supporting high loads• Dampen vibrations caused by the rotation of the shaftApplications:The Sleeve bearing is used in the transmission oil pump to accommodate the amount of misalignment between the pump shaft and the housing where the pump is subjected to vibration or shock.
