What is a BowMet flanged bearing?

A BowMet flanged bearing is a heavy-duty plain bearing manufactured using ToughMet® spinodal bronze and incorporating an integrated flange. The flange provides additional axial positioning and support while the bearing accommodates radial movement within the assembly.

When should I use a flanged design?

A flanged bearing is useful when an application requires both radial bearing support and axial positioning. The integrated flange can help locate the bearing within its housing and simplify assembly where axial movement needs to be controlled.

What loads do BowMet flanges handle?

BowMet bearings are developed for demanding, heavy-duty applications, but the load capacity of a flanged bearing depends on factors such as bearing dimensions, load direction, operating speed, and application conditions. Our team can assess your requirements and recommend a suitable Bowman BowMet configuration.

What sizes are available?

BowMet flanged bearings are available in a range of standard configurations, including smooth bores and through-hole options. Our in-house manufacturing service can also produce non-standard sizes to meet specific customer requirements.
