Tristar DRJS-1014-6 Sleeve Bearing Rulon J 5/8 Id 7/8 Od

Product Description

The TRISTAR DRJS-1014-6 is a Rulon J sleeve bearing designed for low-friction rotational and linear shaft support in light-duty mechanical assemblies. It measures 5/8 inches inside diameter, 7/8 inches outside diameter, and 3/4 inches overall length. Rulon J is a PTFE-based composite material known for its self-lubricating properties, chemical resistance, and dimensional stability under moderate load conditions. This bearing is typically installed by maintenance technicians and mechanical service professionals in motors, pumps, fans, and similar rotating equipment where a pressed-in or slip-fit plain bearing is required.

This sleeve bearing is suited for residential and light commercial mechanical applications where shaft diameters of 5/8 inches are standard. Common install scenarios include small electric motor housings, fan assemblies, conveyor components, and pump bearing bores. Its compact overall length of 3/4 inches makes it appropriate for confined bearing pockets with limited axial space. Technicians working on HVAC blower motors, circulation pumps, or similar rotating equipment will find this bearing a practical direct replacement for worn or seized plain bearings of the same dimension.

Key Features

• Rulon J PTFE-composite construction provides self-lubrication, reducing maintenance requirements in accessible and hard-to-reach bearing locations
• 5/8 inches bore accommodates standard small-motor and fan shaft diameters
• 7/8 inches outside diameter fits common bearing pocket bores in motor end caps and housings
• 3/4 inches overall length suits shallow bearing pockets and space-constrained assemblies
• Lightweight at 0.1 pounds, minimizing added mass in motor and fan assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement sleeve bearing for rotating equipment requiring a 5/8 inches ID, 7/8 inches OD, 3/4 inches OAL plain bearing with Rulon J material construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a qualified maintenance technician or mechanical service professional. De-energize and lock out all electrical power to the motor or equipment before removing the old bearing. Press-fit bearings should be seated with a proper bearing driver or arbor press to avoid cocking or surface damage - do not strike the bearing face directly with a hammer. Verify shaft diameter and bearing pocket dimensions before installation to confirm fit.
