The Buyer's Decision
Choosing a bearing for power transmission work often comes down to matching the bearing style, dimensions, and duty level to the job. Do you need a low-noise ball bearing for high-speed rotation, a steel flange bearing for a compact shaft mount, or a brass sleeve bearing for high-temperature and corrosive conditions? The four industrial bearing options below span three bearing families and range in listed price from $14.19 to $29.38, so the right pick depends on your shaft size, load, and mounting setup.
Quick Take
If you want the most bearings for the money, the 6202-2RS Rubber Seal Ball Bearings 10 Pack is the lowest-priced option at $14.19, followed by the AXIS AF2436 at $14.96, the AXIS AF6464 at $22.78, and the 4 Pcs Brass Sleeve Bearings at $29.38. The two AXIS models are steel commercial grade flange bearings, while the 6202-2RS is a sealed metric ball bearing, and the brass sleeve set is a plain bearing bushing.

Decision Matrix
| Product | Best Suited For | Consider If |
|---|---|---|
| Brass Sleeve Bearings | High-temperature or corrosive environments | You need a fixed plain bushing in an imperial size |
| AXIS AF2436 | Compact flange mounting | Your shaft is smaller and you want a steel commercial grade bearing |
| AXIS AF6464 | Larger flange mounting | Your shaft needs a bigger bore than the AF2436 |
| 6202-2RS Ball Bearings | High-speed, low-noise rotation | You want a multi-pack of sealed metric ball bearings |
Product Notes
4 Pcs Brass Sleeve Bearings Industrial Bearings 5/8" Bore 7/8" OD 3/4" Length
This Zaplyte set uses cast brass bushings, which are described as suitable for high sliding velocity, high-temperature, and corrosive environments. They function as plain bearings to guide or reduce friction in linear applications and can reinforce housings for shafts. The fixed dimensions are a 5/8-inch bore, 7/8-inch outside diameter, and 3/4-inch length, so this is a specific replacement bushing rather than a universal assortment. It also carries a California Prop 65 warning, which may matter if you need to maintain workplace labeling compliance. If your equipment requires a precisely sized brass bushing, the four-piece set gives you a few spares in the same size.
AF2436 Commercial Grade AXIS Commercial Grade Bearings Heavy Duty Industrial
The AXIS AF2436 is a steel commercial grade bearing from the AF Series, with a 0.375-inch inside diameter and 1.125-inch outside diameter. Its compact footprint makes it a reasonable candidate for conveyors, drives, and maintenance replacements where a small flange bearing fits. The description highlights dependable industrial performance and easy installation, and the flange diameter is 1.25 inches, so it is a compact mounting component. If you need a small steel bearing for a small shaft, the AF2436 offers that specific size without the larger footprint of the AF6464.
AF6464 Commercial Grade AXIS Commercial Grade Bearings Heavy Duty Industrial
The AXIS AF6464 is the larger of the two AXIS flange bearings, with a 1-inch inside diameter, 2-inch outside diameter, and 0.5-inch length through bore. It is also steel and part of the AF Series, so it shares the same commercial-grade positioning for conveyors, drives, and maintenance replacements. The flange diameter is 2.1875 inches, making it a bigger component than the AF2436. Because of the larger bore, it is more suitable for heavier shafts. If your power transmission setup calls for a 1-inch bore in a steel flange bearing, the AF6464 is the one to compare against the AF2436.
6202-2RS Rubber Seal Ball Bearings 10 Pack 15x35x11mm Industrial Low Noise
The Tech'Tools833 6202-2RS set gives you ten deep groove ball bearings in the common 15x35x11mm metric size, with rubber seals on both sides to keep contaminants out. It has a dynamic load rating of 8060 N, a static load rating of 3750 N, and a limiting speed of 13000 r/min, making it suitable for high-speed rotation. It is also described as low noise and manufactured in the United States. The main limitation is the metric bore: 15mm does not match the imperial bores on the AXIS flange bearings, so it will not interchange with those mounts. If you need a 10-pack of sealed ball bearings for high-speed maintenance work, this is the one to look at.
Final Recommendation by Use Case
- If you need sealed, low-noise ball bearings for high-speed rotation, the 6202-2RS Rubber Seal Ball Bearings 10 Pack is the standout for that use.
- If you need a compact steel flange bearing for a smaller shaft, the AXIS AF2436 provides a good match.
- If you need a larger steel flange bearing for a bigger shaft, the AXIS AF6464 delivers the extra bore size.
- If you need brass sleeve bushings for high-temperature or corrosive environments and a fixed bushing size, the 4 Pcs Brass Sleeve Bearings set is the one to match to your exact housing dimensions.
