Tristar DRJS-0609-6 Sleeve Bearing Rulon J 3/8 Id

Product Description

The TRISTAR DRJS-0609-6 is a Rulon J sleeve bearing designed for low-friction rotational and sliding support in mechanical assemblies. It features a 3/8 inch inner diameter, a 9/16 inch outer diameter, and an overall length of 3/4 inch. Rulon J is a PTFE-based composite material known for its self-lubricating properties and compatibility with dry or minimally lubricated operating environments. This bearing is used in applications where quiet operation, corrosion resistance, and reduced maintenance are priorities. Technicians working on light industrial equipment, HVAC components, and similar mechanical systems will find this part suitable for direct replacement or new assembly work.

This sleeve bearing fits into applications requiring a compact, press-in or slip-fit plain bearing with no rolling elements. Typical installations include small motors, fans, pumps, and linkage assemblies found in residential and light commercial HVAC equipment, appliances, and general mechanical systems. The Rulon J material performs well in environments where metal bearings would corrode or require frequent lubrication. It is sold individually and is suited for both repair and OEM-style replacement scenarios.

Key Features

• Rulon J PTFE-composite material provides self-lubrication and corrosion resistance
• 3/8 inch inner diameter for shaft fit
• 9/16 inch outer diameter for housing press or slip fit
• 3/4 inch overall length for compact axial footprint
• No rolling elements - quiet operation with low maintenance requirements
• Lightweight at 0.1 pounds, suitable for space- and weight-sensitive assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit sleeve bearing replacement for mechanical assemblies requiring a 3/8 inch ID, 9/16 inch OD, 3/4 inch OAL plain bearing in Rulon J material.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a qualified mechanical or HVAC technician. Power down and de-energize all equipment before removing or installing bearings. Press-in fits should be installed using an appropriate arbor press or bearing installation tool - do not use impact force directly on the bearing face. Verify shaft and housing bore dimensions before installation to ensure proper fit and avoid damage to the Rulon J material.
