Frequently Asked Questions
What are Bowman Oilless plain bearings?
Bowman Oilless plain bearings are made from rotational cast high-strength bronze and use specially formed graphite plugs as the lubricant. They are developed for high-load, low-speed applications.
How does graphite lubrication work?
The specially formed graphite plugs act as the lubricant within the bearing, providing lubrication for high-load, low-speed applications without requiring conventional lubricant.
What load and speed limits apply?
Bowman Oilless bearings are designed for high-load, low-speed applications. The specific load and speed limits depend on the bearing size and operating conditions, so contact Bowman for application-specific guidance.
What sizes are available?
WMO plain bearings are available in metric and imperial sizes from stock. Our in-house machining service can also produce non-standard sizes to suit specific customer requirements.
How do I request a quote?
Provide the required dimensions, quantity, and application details when requesting a quote.
