8mm x 15mm Copper Sleeve

When building awesome DIY Mechanics projects and structures, there are so many different small parts and components available to Makers, with each of them offering a unique or distinct application or benefit despite how simple some of them may look. These 8mm x 15mm Copper Sleeves are a prime example of that, and are seemingly simple parts that offer a surprising number of different benefits in a small range of different applications. And while they are slightly pricey for how simple they appear, rest assured that this is because they have been carefully machined to offer high durability and lasting effectiveness in all of their use cases.

In terms of uses cases for Copper Sleeves or Bushings like these, they are commonly used in a few different ways, with the most popular being as Low-Wear Sleeve Bearings, Mounting Brackets for components that need to move along a linear shaft, as well as spacers to ensure repeatable precision motion for Linear Motion Components. This makes them quite versatile despite essentially being just an extended ring of copper, and there’s no reason why you can’t use this outside of its intended application range if you think it’s a perfect fit for your project.

These 8mm ID, 15mm Long Copper Sleeves are compatible with all of our 8mm Smooth Shafts.
