Our WMG range of plastic bearings can be used across a wide range of applications and industries.
These thermoplastic bearings are suitable for applications requiring high abrasion resistance in atmospheres where dust or other particles are a constant problem. Our WMG range has a very low level of dynamic friction and almost zero stick-slip characteristics.
We can also offer bearings manufactured in many different types of plastic material to suit various applications and can be machined or moulded depending on the quantities required.
