Hillman Nylon Flanged Sleeve Bearing 58066 Plain Bearing 8mm Bore

Description

Product Overview

The Hillman 58066 nylon flanged sleeve bearing is engineered to deliver reliable performance in a wide range of industrial settings. Constructed from high‑quality nylon, this plain bearing offers excellent wear resistance, low friction, and the ability to operate without the need for metal bushings. Its compact dimensions—2.4 x 1.4 x 1.5 inches—make it easy to integrate into tight spaces, while the 8 mm bore accommodates shafts up to that size with precision. The bearing’s design includes a flanged sleeve that provides additional support and alignment, reducing the risk of misalignment and extending the service life of both the bearing and the equipment it serves. Compatible with both oil and grease lubricants, it offers flexibility for maintenance schedules and operating environments.

Usage

This bearing is ideal for applications where the strength of metal bushings is not required, such as light‑to‑moderate load machinery, conveyor rollers, and small gearboxes. It performs well in environments that demand quiet operation, as the nylon material dampens noise compared to metal counterparts. The plain bearing design makes it suitable for use in food processing equipment, where corrosion resistance and easy cleaning are essential. Additionally, its ability to accept either oil or grease allows users to select the lubrication method that best fits their operational constraints, whether that be periodic oiling in a maintenance‑friendly setting or a grease‑filled sealed environment for longer intervals between service.

FAQ

What types of equipment can use this nylon bearing?

The bearing is suitable for light‑to‑moderate load equipment such as conveyor rollers, small gearboxes, packaging machines, and certain types of food processing equipment where metal bushings are not required.

Can I use grease instead of oil for lubrication?

Yes, the bearing is designed to work with either oil or grease. Grease is often preferred in sealed or high‑temperature environments because it stays in place longer, while oil can be used where regular maintenance intervals are planned.

Is this bearing resistant to chemicals commonly found in industrial settings?

Nylon offers good resistance to many chemicals, including oils, greases, and certain solvents. However, it is advisable to avoid exposure to strong acids or bases that could degrade the material over time.

How do I install the bearing correctly?

Install the bearing by aligning the flanged sleeve with the housing surface, ensuring the bore matches the shaft diameter. Apply a thin layer of the chosen lubricant before assembly, and avoid forcing the bearing to prevent damage.
