Industrial Sleeve Bearing
The Bunting Bearings EP081016 is a sintered bronze sleeve bearing with a half-inch bore and one-inch length. It suits machinery and machine-shop applications that require a simple plain bearing. The self-lubricating design embeds SAE 30 oil within the bronze matrix. Supplied in a pack of three for maintenance or assembly use.
Thermal Range and Power
Operating temperature spans 10 to 220 degrees Fahrenheit, covering typical industrial environments. The metallic material group conducts heat away from the contact surface without active cooling. Self-lubrication removes the need for external oil feed lines or grease fittings. No electrical power is drawn by the bearing itself.
Sustained Load Behaviour
Under continuous rotation the embedded lubricant maintains a consistent film, reducing wear over long runs. Length tolerance of plus or minus 0.005 inch keeps alignment stable during extended duty. The non-flanged, inch-series profile fits existing housings without modification. California Proposition 65 warnings apply to this product.

Questions about this item
How do I press-fit the 1/2 in bore sleeve bearing into its housing without damaging the sintered bronze?
Align the bearing squarely and press evenly on the outer diameter; do not hammer the 1 in length directly, as uneven force closes the oil pores in the sintered bronze.
When should I re-oil the SAE 30 oil embedded in the bronze sleeve bearing?
Re-lubricate when the bearing runs hotter than normal or shows increased friction; the self-lubricating design releases oil during operation, but heavy loads or vacuum environments can deplete the reservoir faster.
At what temperature does the bronze sleeve bearing reach its continuous operating limit?
The maximum rated temperature is 220 degrees F; sustained operation above this point degrades the embedded SAE 30 oil and reduces the bearing's load capacity.
