Description
Product Overview
The Bunting self-lubricating bronze bearing is engineered to provide dependable performance in a variety of industrial environments. Constructed from high-quality bronze alloy, the bearing incorporates a built‑in supply of SAE 30 oil that continuously lubricates the contact surfaces, reducing friction and wear without the need for external lubrication systems. This design not only simplifies installation but also extends service intervals, delivering cost savings over the product lifecycle.
Designed to meet rigorous ASTM specifications, the bearing offers a broad operating temperature range from 10 °F to 220 °F, ensuring reliable function in both cold storage facilities and high‑heat processing plants. Its non‑magnetic nature eliminates interference with sensitive equipment, while the corrosion‑resistant coating protects against moisture, chemicals, and harsh industrial atmospheres. The compact dimensions of 1 × 1 × 0.3 inches and lightweight profile of 0.48 oz make it easy to integrate into tight mechanical assemblies.
Each unit carries the model identifier VC0S2_EF081012, allowing precise inventory tracking and compatibility verification. The bearing’s flanged sleeve design provides a secure mounting interface that distributes loads evenly, reducing stress concentrations and enhancing overall system stability. With a proven track record reflected in a 4.4‑star rating from 27 customer reviews, this component has earned a reputation for durability and consistent performance.
Whether used in conveyor systems, rotary tables, or custom machinery, the Bunting bearing delivers the reliability required by demanding applications. Its straightforward installation process, combined with the self‑lubricating feature, makes it a preferred choice for engineers seeking a low‑maintenance solution that does not compromise on strength or precision.

Usage
This bearing excels in environments where continuous operation and minimal maintenance are critical. In manufacturing plants, it can be employed within motor shafts, gearboxes, and linear motion guides, where the self‑lubricating property ensures smooth operation even under heavy loads. Its temperature tolerance allows use in refrigerated warehouses as well as in heat‑intensive processes such as metal forging or plastic extrusion.
For equipment that operates in corrosive settings—such as chemical processing units, wastewater treatment facilities, or marine applications—the bearing’s corrosion‑resistant finish provides long‑term protection against rust and degradation. The non‑magnetic characteristic is especially valuable in precision instrumentation, where magnetic fields could affect sensor accuracy or interfere with electronic controls.
Installation is straightforward: the flanged sleeve fits securely onto a matching shaft or housing, and the built‑in oil reservoir begins to lubricate immediately upon operation. This simplicity reduces downtime during maintenance cycles and allows technicians to focus on other critical tasks. The bearing’s compact size also makes it suitable for retrofitting older equipment where space constraints are a concern.

FAQ
What maintenance is required for the self‑lubricating bearing?
The bearing is designed to operate without additional lubrication. Periodic visual inspections to ensure the housing remains clean and free of debris are recommended. If the bearing is exposed to extreme contaminants, a brief cleaning with a compatible solvent can help maintain optimal performance.
Can this bearing be used in high‑speed applications?
Yes. The bronze alloy and built‑in oil supply provide stable friction characteristics suitable for many high‑speed scenarios. However, for extremely high RPMs, verify that the specific speed rating of the model aligns with your application requirements.
Is the bearing compatible with corrosive chemicals?
The bearing’s corrosion‑resistant coating offers protection against a wide range of chemicals commonly found in industrial settings, such as mild acids, bases, and salts. For highly aggressive chemicals, consult the material data sheet to confirm compatibility.
How do I determine the correct size for my equipment?
Refer to the model number VC0S2_EF081012, which corresponds to a 1 × 1 × 0.3 inches package dimension. Match the shaft diameter and flange dimensions of your equipment to the bearing’s specifications. Detailed dimensional drawings are available upon request from our technical team.
What warranty does Bunting provide for this bearing?
Bunting offers a standard one‑year limited warranty covering material and workmanship defects. Should a defect arise within the warranty period, we will replace the bearing or provide a credit, ensuring minimal disruption to your operations.
