Anyone know a source of wooden sleeve bearings. These are used as the wheel bearings on an old piece of equipment I am restoring. They are about 3 inches long, 2.5 inches on the OD and 1.25 inches on the ID. I imagine they are oak or maple. I would make them if I had a wood lathe, but someone must make these commercially. Anyone know a source?
Thanks, Jim |

I did a quick internet search and came up with pobcoplastics.com & woodex-meco.com. This may get you started. There are a lot of sources if you search for wood bearings.

I was always told that Maple makes the best bearings. Not sure why.

If you are going to use it go with Delrin plastic. That is what I used to remake the bearings on my Allcrop. You will never have to do them again. I got it from Mcmaster Carr. It comes in sheets, blocks, rods and tubes.

Hey Raleigh, What part(s) on the AllCrop did you use Derlin? I am always looking for alternatives...

Tom: I replaced the bearings and shafts on the left side of the strawalker. I bought the dimensioned material by the foot from Mcmaster Carr, cut it with a chopsaw and drilled it with regular woodworking tools. They also have a fiber reinforced delrin that has greater shock resistance. I can provide pictures if you want them.

When i was working with chemicals we used a lot of that material in machines where acid was used , held up well in corrosive areas and worked good for most applications.
