Igus GSI-0506-08 Sleeve Bearing 5/16 Id 3/8 Od Thermoplastic

Product Description

The IGUS GSI-0506-08 is a plain bore sleeve bearing engineered from self-lubricating thermoplastic in the G300 material series. It measures 5/16 inches inside diameter, 3/8 inches outside diameter, and 1/2 inch overall length. The G300 thermoplastic compound eliminates the need for external grease or oil, making it well suited for applications where periodic re-lubrication is impractical. With a maximum pressure-velocity rating of 28,600 psi and an operating temperature range of -40 to 275 degrees F, this bearing handles demanding light-load rotary and linear motion requirements. It meets RoHS II compliance standards. Licensed technicians and maintenance mechanics working on rotating equipment assemblies typically specify this part when replacing worn or failed OEM sleeve bearings.

The GSI-0506-08 is designed for use in light-duty rotating or oscillating shaft applications across HVAC equipment, industrial machinery, and general mechanical assemblies. The plain bore accepts a 5/16-inch shaft and presses into a housing bore nominally held between 0.3747 and 0.3753 inches for a secure, slip-free fit. Its compact 1/2-inch overall length suits constrained installation spaces where standard metallic bearings may be too heavy or require maintenance access that is not available.

Key Features

• Self-lubricating G300 thermoplastic eliminates external lubrication requirements
• Maximum pressure-velocity rating of 28,600 psi suits demanding light-load applications
• Operating temperature range of -40 to 275 degrees F covers most HVAC and industrial environments
• Plain bore design for straightforward press-fit installation
• RoHS II compliant construction
• Compact 1/2-inch overall length fits space-restricted assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement sleeve bearing for rotating and oscillating shaft assemblies requiring a 5/16-inch bore, 3/8-inch OD, and 1/2-inch overall length with a housing bore held between 0.3747 and 0.3753 inches.

Installation Notes

Installation of sleeve bearings is typically performed by mechanical technicians or maintenance personnel. De-energize all equipment and lock out power before servicing any rotating assembly. Press-fit the bearing into the housing bore using an appropriate arbor press or bearing installation tool - do not strike the bearing directly with a hammer. Verify shaft and housing dimensions match the specified tolerances before installation to prevent premature wear or failure.
