Plain Bearings & Bushings

Products > Bearings & Housings > Plain Bearings & Bushings

The choice of plain bearing or bushing type depends on factors like load capacity, speed, environmental conditions, and maintenance requirements. Selecting the appropriate type is crucial to ensure the long-term reliability and performance of a machine or system.

Type

Materials

Aluminium Bronze

Bearings made from aluminium bronze combine the strength and corrosion resistance of aluminium with the wear resistance of bronze. They are suitable for applications involving heavy loads and harsh environments.

Bronze Bushes & Bars

These are traditional bushings made from bronze, a metal with good wear resistance and self-lubricating properties. They are often used in applications that require moderate load-bearing capacity and resistance to wear.

LG2 bronze in imperial & metric bushes and solid & hollow bars.

Available in over 250 sizes.

Metal Polymer Composite Bearings

Metal-polymer composite plain bearings enable economical solutions in many industrial and automotive applications. They are particularly effective with oscillating movements and achieve a rating life several times higher than that of bearings with conventional materials. In addition, all our new plain bearings are lead-free and, therefore, environmentally friendly.

Phosphor Bronze

Phosphor bronze bearings are known for their excellent wear resistance and ability to operate in a wide range of temperatures. They are commonly used in applications requiring good load-bearing capabilities and resistance to corrosion.
