What is a WMU PTFE flanged bearing?

A WMU PTFE flanged bearing is a wrapped plain bearing with a PTFE lining and integrated flange. It is designed for applications requiring low friction and low wear, with the flange providing additional positioning and support within the assembly.

Can WMU PTFE flanged bearings run dry?

Yes. WMU bearings are designed for dry-running applications, making them suitable where continuous lubrication is not practical or required. Their PTFE-lined surface provides low-friction performance while helping minimize wear.

When should WMU PTFE flanged bearings be greased?

WMU PTFE flanged bearings are designed for dry running and generally do not require continuous grease lubrication. Whether additional lubrication is appropriate depends on the specific application, operating conditions, and bearing requirements.

What sizes are available?

WMU PTFE bearings are available in standard metric and inch sizes. Our in-house machining service can also produce non-standard sizes to meet specific customer requirements.

How do I request a quote?

Provide your required dimensions, quantity, application details, operating conditions, and any specific requirements when requesting a quote.
