What is a WMG plastic flanged bearing?

A WMG plastic flanged bearing is a thermoplastic bearing designed for applications requiring high abrasion resistance, low dynamic friction, and reliable performance in environments where dust or particles are present. The WMGF flanged plastic bushing range provides additional flange support for specific mounting and axial positioning requirements.

When should I use a flanged plastic bearing?

A flanged plastic bearing is useful where the bearing needs to provide radial support while also helping with axial positioning or locating within an assembly. WMG flanged bearings are particularly suitable where low friction, abrasion resistance, and a low friction plastic flange bearing solution are required.

What sizes of WMGF flanged bearings are available?

The WMGF flanged plastic bushing range is available in metric sizes. Bowman can also manufacture non-standard dimensions through its in-house machining service to suit specific application requirements.

Are WMG flanged bearings chemical resistant?

WMG thermoplastic materials offer resistance to a range of environmental conditions and chemicals. However, compatibility depends on the specific chemical, concentration, temperature, and operating conditions. Our engineers can assess your application when a chemical resistant flange bushing is required.

Can Bowman make custom WMG flanged bearing sizes?

Yes. Bowman’s in-house machining service can produce non-standard WMGF dimensions to meet customer-specific requirements. This makes WMG suitable for applications requiring a customised corrosion resistant flanged bushing or thermoplastic flanged bearing UK solution.
