sleeve bearing

The turbine spun on simple sleeve bearings for vibration-free running.

I know that because we still make some little parts out of it, sleeve bearings mostly, and the worms for the big worm gears.

Sleeve bearings use two surfaces lubricated with oil or grease as a friction contact.

Regular replacement of this white-metal sleeve bearing is vital and should be considered at every major service interval.

Water-cooled sleeve bearings are used when hot gases are being moved by the fan.

This actuator slid back and forth on a single thin steel rod using two sleeve bearings.

More expensive turntables tend to use massive sleeve bearings which are much less likely to generate offensive amounts of rumble.

Hole jewels - These are donut shaped sleeve bearings used to support the arbor (shaft) of most wheels.

Sleeve bearings may be more likely to fail at higher temperatures, and may perform poorly when mounted in any orientation other than vertical.

Sleeve bearings of inch dimensions are almost exclusively dimensioned using the SAE numbering system.

This allows them to be safely mounted with the shaft vertical (unlike sleeve bearings), since the fluid being pumped lubricates the top of the shaft.

MoS for example is compounded in materials for sleeve bearings, elastomere O-rings, carbon brushes etc.

Rifle bearings are similar to sleeve bearings, but are quieter and have almost as much lifespan as ball bearings.

From November 1944 through February 1945, a conversion process began to use sleeve bearings in the Panther tank, as there was a shortage of ball bearings.

Sleeve bearings are less durable at higher temperatures as the contact surfaces wear and the lubricant dries up, eventually leading to failure; however, lifetime is similar at relatively low ambient temperatures.

Historically, the wheels on railroad cars used sleeve bearings packed with waste or loose scraps cotton or wool fiber soaked in oil, then later used solid pads of cotton.

NTN Engineering Plastics Corporation in Inabe District, Mie produces thrust washers, smooth and flanged one, two and three-layer sleeve bearings and high-performance sliding bearings.

The sleeve bearings were primarily used in the running gear; plans were made also to convert the transmission to sleeve bearings, but were not carried out as production of Panther tanks came to an end.

One major design difference was the switch from ball bearings to sleeve bearings which, when combined with increasingly poor grades of lubricants, led to serious problems in service, including engine fires; initially, for example, the use of emergency power was forbidden.

The lifespan of a sleeve-bearing fan may be around 40,000 hours at 50 C. Fans that use sleeve bearings are generally cheaper than fans that use ball bearings, and are quieter at lower speeds early in their life, but can become noisy as they age.

Next came a very large set of matched volumes containing reference materials: One contained designs for thousands of sleeve bearings, another for computers made of rods, still another for energy storage devices, and all of them were ractive so that she could use them to design such things to her own specifications.
