About Bowman Oilless® Flanged Bearings

Bowman Oilless® bearings are developed for high-load, low-speed applications and manufactured from rotational cast, high-strength bronze using specially formed graphite plugs as solid lubrication.

Our Bowman Oilless flanged bearings provide reliable performance in demanding applications where conventional lubrication is impractical. The WMOF oilless flanged bushing range is available in metric and imperial sizes, delivering dependable operation across a variety of industrial applications.

Designed for durability and reduced maintenance, our dry running flanged bronze bushings combine high-strength bronze with graphite plug lubrication. This makes them a reliable high load flanged bronze bearing solution for applications requiring consistent performance under demanding loads and low speeds.

As an experienced oilless flange bearing UK supplier, Bowman offers flexible solutions for specialised requirements. Our in-house machining service can produce non-standard sizes to customer specifications, including customised graphite plug flange bushings and WMOF range bronze flange components.

For applications where continuous lubrication is undesirable, Bowman Oilless® products provide a durable, maintenance free flanged bearing solution designed for reliable long-term performance.

What are Bowman Oilless® flanged bearings?

Bowman Oilless® flanged bearings are high-strength bronze bearings designed for high-load, low-speed applications. The WMOF oilless flanged bushing range incorporates specially formed graphite plugs that provide solid lubrication for reliable dry-running operation.

When should I use a flanged bearing versus a plain bearing?

A flanged bearing is useful when the bearing must also accommodate axial positioning or thrust loads in addition to radial loads. A plain bearing is generally suited to applications where radial support is the primary requirement. Bowman can help determine whether a high load flanged bronze bearing or another bearing configuration is appropriate for your application.

What sizes of WMOF flanged bearings are available?

The WMOF range is available in both metric and imperial sizes. As part of the WMOF range bronze flange offering, Bowman can also manufacture non-standard dimensions through its in-house machining service.

What is the maximum load capacity of Oilless® flanged bearings?

Load capacity depends on factors including bearing dimensions, operating speed, temperature, lubrication conditions, and application requirements. Our engineers can assess your operating conditions and recommend a suitable dry running flanged bronze bushing for the required load.

Can Bowman make custom flanged bearing sizes?

Yes. Bowman’s in-house machining service can produce non-standard sizes to meet specific customer requirements. This allows us to provide customised graphite plug flange bushing solutions and maintenance free flanged bearing designs for specialised applications.
