A Diverse Range of Specialized Solutions
Bowman’s TaylorMade™ Bearing Solutions bring together our engineering expertise to deliver fully customized bearing assemblies and precision-engineered components for applications where standard products are not suitable. Designed for OEMs, equipment manufacturers, and specialist engineering projects, TaylorMade™ solutions combine proven bearing technologies with application-specific design to achieve optimum performance, reliability, and service life. Whether you require a custom bearing assemblies manufacturer, a bespoke bearing assembly in the USA, or a complete engineered solution, our technical team works closely with you from concept through to production.
TaylorMade™ encompasses a broad range of specialized bearing products and assemblies manufactured to meet unique operating conditions. Our capabilities include white metal bearing solutions for heavy-duty rotating equipment, filament wound bearing designs for corrosive and chemically aggressive environments, case hardened steel bearing components for demanding wear applications, precision tension bearing assemblies, and high-performance sintered filters for industrial fluid and gas systems. Every solution is developed to meet the specific load, speed, environmental, and dimensional requirements of the application.
The TaylorMade™ process begins with a detailed review of your operating conditions, performance objectives, installation constraints, and maintenance expectations. Our engineering team then recommends the most appropriate bearing materials, manufacturing methods, tolerances, lubrication strategy, and assembly configuration to deliver the best long-term performance. This collaborative approach enables us to develop reliable solutions for industries including mining, power generation, marine, construction, automotive, aerospace, industrial processing, and specialist manufacturing.
Whether your project requires a one-off prototype, low-volume production, or a fully managed OEM supply program, Bowman combines decades of bearing engineering expertise with flexible manufacturing capabilities to deliver precision custom bearing assemblies built around your exact requirements. By specifying TaylorMade™ Bearing Solutions, customers gain access to bespoke engineering support, proven manufacturing quality, and dependable products designed specifically for their application rather than forcing a standard bearing to fit an unconventional design.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are TaylorMade™ bearing assemblies?
TaylorMade™ Bearing Assemblies are custom-engineered bearing solutions developed for applications where standard products are not suitable. As a custom bearing assemblies manufacturer, Bowman designs and manufactures bespoke assemblies tailored to your specific load, speed, operating environment, and performance requirements.
What types of bearing assemblies does Bowman make?
Bowman manufactures a wide range of TaylorMade™ bearing assemblies, including white metal (Babbitt) bearings, filament wound bearings, case hardened steel bearings, tension bearings, sintered filters, and other bespoke bearing solutions. Each assembly is engineered to meet the exact needs of the application.
Can Bowman make custom bearing assemblies to my drawing?
Yes. Bowman specializes in manufacturing custom bearing assemblies from customer drawings, CAD models, or application requirements. Our engineering team can also assist with material selection, design optimization, and prototyping to ensure the final solution delivers the required performance and service life.
What is a white metal (Babbitt) bearing?
A white metal (Babbitt) bearing is a plain bearing lined with a soft bearing alloy that provides excellent conformability, embeddability, and seizure resistance. These bearings are widely used in heavy industrial equipment, turbines, pumps, compressors, and rotating machinery where reliable performance under demanding operating conditions is essential.
What is a filament wound bearing?
A filament wound bearing is a composite bearing manufactured by winding continuous reinforcing fibers around a mandrel and bonding them with a high-strength resin system. The resulting bearing offers excellent strength, corrosion resistance, low friction, and long service life, making it suitable for marine, chemical processing, construction, and other demanding industrial applications.
