About Sintered Plate Bearings

Our sintered plate bearings provide self-lubricating thrust surfaces for applications where the assembly does not allow for a flanged bearing. They can also be used to provide a secondary thrust surface at the non-flanged end of a bearing, offering a practical solution for axial load applications.

For thrust applications, the PV value should not exceed 0.36 N/mm² × m/s. Surface velocity is calculated using the mean diameter of the thrust face, while pressure is calculated over the total thrust area. Our specialised machining service can also produce non-standard bearing sizes to meet specific customer requirements.

As an industrial sintered plate supplier in the US, we support customers looking to buy Sintered Plate bearings in North America, including Bowman sintered plate solutions and Sintered Bronze/Iron bearings for a range of industrial applications. Our sintered plate bearings supplier service can accommodate both standard and application-specific requirements.

What are sintered plate bearings?

Sintered plate bearings are self-lubricating thrust surfaces made from sintered bronze or iron. They are designed to provide reliable axial support in applications where a flanged bearing is not suitable or where an additional thrust surface is required.

Where are sintered plates used?

Sintered plates are used in thrust applications where low-friction, self-lubricating performance is required. They can be installed as a primary thrust surface or as a secondary thrust surface at the non-flanged end of a bearing.

What load capacity do sintered plate bearings handle?

The load capacity depends on factors such as plate dimensions, pressure, surface velocity, and operating conditions. For thrust applications, the PV value should not exceed 0.36 N/mm² × m/s. Surface velocity is calculated using the mean diameter of the thrust face, while pressure is based on the total thrust area.

What sizes of sintered plates are available?

Sintered Bronze/Iron bearings and plate solutions are available in a range of standard sizes. For applications requiring specific dimensions, our specialized machining service can produce non-standard sizes according to customer requirements.

How do I request a quote for sintered plate bearings?

Provide your required dimensions, quantity, material, load, and operating conditions when requesting a quote. As an industrial sintered plate supplier in the US, we support customers looking to buy Sintered Plate bearings in North America and can recommend a suitable Bowman sintered plate solution.
