Sleeve Bearing
A sleeve bearing is a type of bearing that uses a sleeve or bush to reduce friction between moving parts.
Sleeve bearings are typically made from materials such as bronze, steel, or plastic. They consist of an outer sleeve that rotates against an inner shaft. A lubricant, such as oil or grease, is applied between the sleeve and shaft to minimize friction.
- Advantages:
- Low cost
- Simple design
- Good for low-speed applications
- Disadvantages:
- Higher friction than ball bearings
- Prone to wear and tear
- Require regular lubrication
