About Sintered Bronze & Iron Thrust Washers

Our sintered bronze iron thrust washers provide self-lubricating thrust surfaces for applications where a flanged bearing is not suitable. They can also be used as a secondary thrust surface at the non-flanged end of a bearing, providing a practical solution for applications requiring reliable axial support.

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. An oil impregnated washer can provide consistent lubrication during operation, helping support low-friction performance.

We offer an in-house machining service for Sintered Bronze/Iron bearings requiring non-standard sizes and specific customer requirements. Standard availability is in imperial sizes only. As an industrial sintered bronze/iron thrust supplier in the US, we support customers looking to source Sintered Bronze Thrust bearings in North America, including Bowman sintered bronze/iron thrust solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a thrust washer?

A thrust washer is a bearing component designed to provide a low-friction surface for supporting axial loads. Our sintered bronze iron thrust washers provide a self-lubricating thrust surface and are suitable where a flanged bearing cannot be used or where an additional thrust surface is required.

Are these washers self-lubricating?

Yes. Our sintered thrust washers are designed to provide self-lubricating performance. An oil impregnated washer allows lubricant contained within the porous sintered material to support lubrication during operation, helping reduce friction and wear.

What sizes are available?

These Sintered Bronze/Iron bearings and thrust washers are available as standard in imperial sizes only. Our in-house machining service can also produce non-standard sizes to meet specific customer requirements.

What axial loads can these thrust washers handle?

Load capacity depends on factors such as the washer dimensions, pressure, surface velocity, and operating conditions. For thrust applications, the PV value should not exceed 0.36 N/mm² × m/s. For an application-specific recommendation, our team can assess your operating requirements.

How do I request a quote?

Provide your required dimensions, quantity, material, load, speed, and application details when requesting a quote. As an industrial sintered bronze/iron thrust supplier in the US, we support customers looking for Sintered Bronze Thrust bearings in North America and can recommend a suitable Bowman sintered bronze/iron thrust solution.
