What is a WMX acetal bearing?

A WMX acetal bearing is a wrapped plain bearing with an acetal lining, designed for rotary and oscillating movement applications. The WMX range is available in metric and imperial sizes.

When should I use WMX over WMU?

WMX acetal plain bearings are designed for rotary and oscillating movement applications, while WMU bearings use a PTFE-lined construction. The right choice depends on the specific application and operating requirements.

Are WMX bearings water resistant?

WMX bearings are designed for a range of industrial applications, but water resistance depends on the specific operating conditions and application. Contact Bowman to discuss whether WMX is suitable for your environment.
