Heavy-duty Bowmet plain bearings out-perform alternatives

Due to the load and wear characteristics, and higher PV value, Bowmet heavy-duty plain bearings are excellent for applications in mining equipment, heavy construction equipment, off road vehicles, quarrying equipment, aircraft landing gear, oil and gas drilling equipment, heavy military vehicles, materials handling equipment, heavy-duty production machinery, racing engines, steel mill rolls, injection moulding machines, scissor lifts and marine equipment. Bearings manufactured from ToughMet, when used in these applications, have exhibited greatly increased life, combated corrosion, and have carried higher loads and enabled higher speeds to be used than existing bearings, resulting in fewer warranty claims, longer maintenance cycles, better reliability, reduced down time and lower maintenance costs.

Bowmet bearings can be plain or flanged and, if required, lubrication grooves, holes and pockets can be provided. Location slots or tabs can also be incorporated. Half shells, thrust washers and wear strips are also offered. Non-standard sizes and special shaped washers and plates can be produced to order. Because of the manufacturing process, tooling costs are low, so both large and small batches are economical - and there is no minimum order quantity.
