Value Collection 101021 Flanged Sleeve Bearing Polyethylene

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 101021 is a flanged sleeve bearing machined from polyethylene, designed to provide low-friction shaft support in light-duty rotating and sliding assemblies. With a 7/8 inch inside diameter, 1-1/4 inch outside diameter, and 1 inch overall length, this bushing fits standard bore housings where a compact, corrosion-resistant plain bearing is required. The integral flange measures 1-1/2 inches in outer diameter and 3/16 inch thick, providing axial retention without the need for additional hardware. Maintenance technicians, machine builders, and equipment repair shops commonly install this type of bearing in low-speed, low-load applications.

This flanged sleeve bearing suits residential and light commercial equipment where metal bearings are overkill or where corrosion, moisture, or chemical exposure rules out steel or bronze alternatives. Typical applications include fan assemblies, conveyor guides, small motor shaft supports, agricultural equipment, and hand-operated mechanisms. Polyethylene construction makes this bearing a practical choice in wet or washdown environments. It is sold individually and requires no lubrication under most standard operating conditions.

Key Features

• Polyethylene construction resists corrosion, moisture, and many common chemicals
• Integral flange provides built-in axial positioning and load distribution
• 7/8 inch bore accommodates standard shaft diameters in light-duty assemblies
• Compact 1 inch overall length fits tight axial spaces
• Self-lubricating material reduces maintenance requirements in low-speed applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard flanged sleeve bearing replacement for light-duty rotating and sliding assemblies requiring a 7/8 inch bore, 1-1/4 inch OD, and 1 inch overall length in polyethylene.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by maintenance technicians or machine builders during equipment assembly or repair. Press or hand-fit the bearing into a prepared bore, ensuring the flange seats flush against the housing face for proper axial retention. Inspect the mating shaft for burrs or scoring before installation to avoid premature wear. No special tools or certifications are required, but standard machining tolerances should be maintained on the housing bore for a secure fit.
