Value Collection RB202424 Sleeve Bearing Cast Bronze

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION RB202424 is a cast bronze sleeve bearing designed for rotational and oscillating shaft support in mechanical and industrial assemblies. With a 1-1/4-inch bore, 1-1/2-inch outside diameter, and 3-inch overall length, this plain-bore bearing provides a low-friction interface between a rotating shaft and its housing. Cast from SAE 660 bronze (also known as bearing bronze or C93200), it offers good load capacity, corrosion resistance, and self-lubricating properties under moderate operating conditions. It is sized and specified for use where a standard pressed or machined sleeve bearing is required in motion control and fluid power applications.

This bearing is suited for light to moderate radial load applications in machinery, conveyors, pumps, fans, and general industrial equipment. The plain bore design accommodates standard shaft fits and is compatible with housings machined to standard tolerances. Mechanics, millwrights, and maintenance technicians working on rotating equipment typically specify this part when replacing worn sleeve bearings in production or facility maintenance settings. The 3-inch length provides additional surface area for load distribution compared to shorter sleeve styles.

Key Features

• Cast bronze construction (SAE 660 / C93200) provides corrosion resistance and inherent lubricity
• 1-1/4-inch inside diameter plain bore for straightforward shaft fitment
• 1-1/2-inch outside diameter for press or slip fit into standard housing bores
• 3-inch overall length distributes radial loads over a wider contact area
• Meets ASTM B505, QQ-C390E7, and SAE 660 material standards
• Bearing Number M2024-24 for cross-reference identification

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-dimension sleeve bearing replacement for mechanical assemblies requiring a 1-1/4-inch bore, 1-1/2-inch OD, and 3-inch length in cast bronze. Cross-referenced as bearing number M2024-24.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a millwright or maintenance mechanic. The shaft and housing bore should be cleaned and inspected for wear or damage before pressing in the new bearing. Use an appropriately sized arbor press or bearing driver to seat the bearing evenly and avoid cocking it in the housing. Ensure adequate lubrication is established before returning the assembly to service, following the equipment manufacturer's lubrication specifications.
