Plain Bearings

Plain bearings are a reliable solution for applications where simplicity, compact design, and resistance to dirt, moisture, and chemicals are crucial. At Nomo, we offer a broad range of plain bearings that handle high loads, operate without lubrication, and provide long service life even in harsh environments. With our technical expertise, we help you choose the right bearing for every condition.

Our Range of Plain Bearings

Plain bearings are used in a wide range of industrial applications – from agricultural machinery and hydraulics to the food industry and offshore. Unlike rolling bearings, plain bearings have no moving parts, making them resistant to contamination, vibration, and corrosion. Nomo offers several types of plain bearings with various materials, surface treatments, and designs to suit all environments.

Cylindrical Plain Bearings – Compact and Versatile

Cylindrical plain bearings are the most common type and are used where rotational motion occurs with high load and low to medium speed. They are compact, durable, and easy to install, making them a popular solution in space-constrained designs. At Nomo, you’ll find both metal-based and composite-based versions.

Flanged Plain Bearings – For Easier Installation

Flanged plain bearings have an integrated flange that simplifies mounting and positioning in the design. They are often used in applications where precise shaft alignment is important. The flange can also help reduce axial movement and improve service life in certain load conditions.

Spherical Plain Bearings – For Multi-Directional Motion

Spherical plain bearings handle both radial and axial motion simultaneously, making them ideal for applications with misalignment or articulated links, such as in hydraulic cylinders and jointed constructions. They are available with both maintenance-free sliding surfaces and lubricated versions depending on the operating environment.

Composite and Polymer Bearings – Maintenance-Free and Corrosion-Resistant

Composite bearings are often made of PTFE, POM, or other low-friction polymer materials. These are especially suitable in environments where lubrication is not possible or where hygiene is required – such as in the food or medical industry. They are quiet, maintenance-free, and very lightweight, making them perfect for lightweight designs and robotics.

Advantages of Plain Bearings from Nomo

  • - Maintenance-free: Many of our plain bearings require no external lubrication.
  • - High load capacity: Handles both static and dynamic loads.
  • - Resistant: Performs well in dirty, corrosive, and extreme environments.
  • - Compact design: Perfect for limited-space applications.
  • - Quiet operation: Low friction and no rolling elements minimize noise.
