Abstract
A sleeve bearing system is provided in which wear is reduced and thrust loading capabilities are offered. An inner ring is secured tightly to a rotating member via a collar. The inner ring forms a plain or sleeve bearing with a bearing set. The bearing set may be supported within a housing designed to be fitted to a machine frame. A thrust extension of the bearing set interfaces with the collar to transmit thrust loading on the rotating member to the bearing set and housing via the inner ring and collar.
