CAT 360-2326 BEARING-SLV-GD

CAT 360-2326 (3602326) is a Caterpillar genuine YM straight sleeve bearing, suitable for medium to light loads, low to medium speed oscillating/rotating articulated/pin supports. The following is precise original part information:

Core Parameters and Compatibility Information

Item Details
Part Model: CAT 360-2326 Genuine YM Straight Sleeve Bearing, weighing approximately 0.19 kg (0.42 lb), suitable for medium to light load articulated positions with a pin diameter of 40 mm, used to reduce friction between the pin and the mounting hole, bearing medium to light loads.

Core Materials: Steel back + bronze alloy + graphite lubrication insert. The steel back ensures structural strength, the bronze layer carries heat, and the graphite layer is self-lubricating. Suitable for medium to light loads, low speed oscillating conditions, wear-resistant and impact-resistant, suitable for outdoor dusty conditions (Cat®…)

Key Dimensions: Inner diameter approximately 40.00 mm (1.575 1.772 in outer diameter, approximately 45.00 mm (1.772 in) overall length, straight flangeless structure, smooth inner bore, interference fit press-fit mounting hole.

Structural Features: Straight cylindrical integral structure, precision machined inner and outer circles, surface roughness Ra≤0.8μm, interference fit mounting, suitable for continuous oscillating/rotating conditions, ensuring fitting accuracy, reducing maintenance frequency Cat®…

Compatible Models: Compatible with CAT 320D/320E excavators, 950H/950K loaders, 120M/140M grader booms, sticks, or connecting rod hinge pins, for medium to light load, low utilization conditions.

Accessories: Compatible with CAT 4C-9520 mounting punch, 5P-3510 bearing puller, mounting hole tolerance H7, interference fit 0.02-0.05 mm. mm, cold-pressed into place to avoid heating deformation

Core Functions and Installation Points

Friction Reduction and Load Bearing: Supports the pin and reduces friction, minimizes component wear, and ensures flexible movement; evenly distributes light to medium loads, preventing localized stress concentration that could lead to deformation and damage; suitable for light to medium loads and low to medium speed Cat® applications…

Installation Specifications
Clean the mounting hole and bearing surface, and check the bearing for cracks and rust damage.

Cold press the pin into the mounting hole using a special punch, ensuring the end face is flush with the mounting hole plane and not tilted.

After installation, check the clearance between the pin and bearing (0.01-0.03 mm). Ensure smooth rotation without jamming or abnormal noise. Tighten the relevant fasteners according to the model manual (usually 10-15 N·m).

Maintenance Recommendations
Check bearing wear, clearance, and surface condition every 500-700 working hours. If the clearance is >0.10 mm, or if there is surface peeling or cracks, replace immediately with an original part.

Use only genuine CAT 360-2326 parts to avoid accelerated wear, jamming, or component failure caused by material/size mismatch.
