Bowman WMX\u00ae acetal lined thrust washers are engineered to provide reliable axial load support in applications involving rotary, oscillating, and intermittent movement. Designed for wet-running and grease-lubricated environments, these POM thrust washers combine excellent wear resistance with low friction to deliver dependable, long-lasting performance. Each washer is manufactured using a durable carbon steel backing, a porous sintered bronze intermediate layer, and an acetal co-polymer layer, creating a robust composite bearing solution capable of withstanding demanding operating conditions while maintaining smooth, efficient motion. <\/p>\n
The acetal sliding surface offers excellent dimensional stability, good impact resistance, and outstanding performance under lubricated conditions. Unlike PTFE-lined products intended for dry-running applications, WMX\u00ae washers are optimised for environments where lubrication is available, making them ideal wet running thrust washers for machinery subjected to continuous rotation or oscillating movement. Their composite construction distributes axial loads efficiently while reducing wear on mating components, helping extend equipment life and minimise maintenance requirements. <\/p>\n
As an experienced acetal washer manufacturer, Bowman supplies WMX\u00ae washers in a wide range of standard metric and imperial sizes to support OEM production, maintenance, and replacement requirements. Where standard dimensions are unsuitable, our in-house machining service can manufacture bespoke washers to meet exact customer specifications. Custom internal diameters, external diameters, thicknesses, and tolerances can all be produced, providing engineers with flexible solutions for specialised applications. <\/p>\n
These polymer lined thrust washers are widely used across hydraulic systems, construction equipment, agricultural machinery, pumps, gearboxes, industrial automation, material handling equipment, and general engineering applications. The carbon steel backed acetal washers provide the strength required for demanding operating conditions while the polymer lining ensures smooth movement under lubrication. As a trusted thrust washer supplier UK, Bowman combines precision manufacturing, extensive stock availability, and technical expertise to deliver high-quality bearing solutions that maximise equipment reliability, reduce wear, and support long service life across a broad range of industrial sectors. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
