CAT 360-2318 BEARING-SLV-GD

CAT 360-2318 YM is a Caterpillar genuine straight sleeve bearing (bushing), suitable for pin supports in drive systems/steering mechanisms, used to bear radial loads and provide stable rotation. The following is precise genuine part information:

Core Parameters and Compatibility Information

Item Details
Part Model: CAT 360-2318 (3602318) YM Straight Sleeve Bearing, Genuine Part, Weight: Approx. 0.45 kg (0.99 lb), Used for Rotational Support of Pins and Frames/Linkages Cat®…

Core Material: Steel-backed bronze alloy (powder metallurgy + bronze layer), inner bore with lubrication grooves and grease holes, heavy-duty and wear-resistant, suitable for low-to-medium speed and impact conditions, excellent fatigue resistance Cat®…

Key Dimensions: Inner diameter approx. 50.80 mm (2.00 in), outer diameter approx. 63.50 mm (2.50 in), total length approx. 38.10 mm (1.50 in) (in), straight without flange, with axial lubrication groove in the inner hole, suitable for 50.80 mm pin mounting positions Cat®…

Structural Features: Straight sleeve, axial lubrication groove in the inner hole + radial grease injection hole, ensuring uniform grease distribution, reducing friction between the pin and bearing, precise positioning, suitable for low to medium speed and radial heavy load conditions.

Compatible Models: Suitable for steering linkages, lifting arm pins, transmission mechanism joints, etc. of CAT 420F2/430F2 backhoe loaders, 906M/907M mini loaders, and 140K/160K graders, matching 360-2317 pins, 360-2319 seals, and other components.

Matching Parts: Matches CAT 1U-7360 puller and 2S-8359 mounting sleeve. When replacing, simultaneously check the pin tolerance (h6) and surface roughness Ra≤0.8μm Cat®. …Core Functions and Installation Points

Radial Support and Friction Reduction: Used for rotating parts of pins and frames/connecting rods, bearing radial loads. It evenly distributes grease through lubrication grooves, reducing friction and wear between pins and bearings, ensuring smooth mechanism operation (Cat®)…

Installation Specifications
Clean the mounting holes, pin surfaces, and bearing surfaces, removing oil and burrs. Check the fit between the bearing and mounting hole (tolerance H7) and the bearing and pin (tolerance d9) (Cat®)…

Use a special sleeve for cold installation, ensuring the grease injection hole and lubrication channel are aligned. Do not force it, as this may cause deformation.

After installation, perform a grease injection test to ensure smooth grease flow and that the mechanism swings/rotates without jamming or abnormal noise.

Maintenance Recommendations
Check bearing wear and lubrication groove blockage every 800 working hours. If clearance exceeds the limit (>0.2 mm) or surface peeling occurs, immediately replace with genuine Cat® parts…

Use only genuine CAT 360-2318 parts to avoid wear on the pins and loosening of the mechanism due to material/size mismatch.
