on-line info on sleeve bearing 5

[electricpete]

It looks like this new bearings forum is taking off with lots of knowledgeable folks.

Can anyone suggest any sources of good free on-line information regarding sleeve bearings - general design considerations, installation and maintenance.

Thanks!

A helpful website on self lubricating metal polymer sleeve bearings is

http://www.ggbearings.com

.Available are downloadable handbooks and an online bearing application option that will recommend a bearing for specific application.

Might be helpful.
