Whether you’re designing a high-load manufacturing system or simply replacing worn bearing bushes in existing equipment, Bearing King has a solution that meets your technical and operational requirements. Our expansive inventory covers both metric and imperial sizes, and we are able to quote and supply bespoke sizes and materials on request. This flexibility makes us the go-to supplier for both standard orders and specialist projects across a variety of industries including agriculture, automotive, aerospace, marine, and heavy machinery.
Oilite Bearings – Durable and Self-Lubricating
Among the most popular products in our plain bearing collection are oilite bushings and oilite bearings. These components are made from porous bronze or iron that has been impregnated with oil during the manufacturing process. This unique structure allows for self-lubrication, reducing the need for maintenance and improving wear resistance under demanding conditions.
We supply the following Oilite bearings:
-
Imperial Oilite Plain Bearings – Available in a wide range of diameters and lengths, these components are ideal for replacement or new design in legacy equipment that requires imperial sizing.
-
Metric Oilite Plain Bearings – Suitable for standardised machinery used across Europe and globally.
-
Metric Oilite Flanged Bearings – Designed to handle both radial and axial loads, flanged types provide added support and simplified installation in axial movement applications.
Oilite bushes are particularly effective in scenarios where traditional lubrication is either impractical or undesirable. They operate silently and reliably under moderate loads and speeds, making them ideal for domestic appliances, electric motors, industrial fans, and pumps.
Wrapped Bushes – Versatile, Lightweight & High-Performance
In addition to oil-impregnated bushes, Bearing King stocks a robust range of wrapped bushes, including Wrapped Acetal Lined Plain Bearings. These bushes feature a steel backing with a polymer lining, offering excellent resistance to wear, low friction, and outstanding load-carrying capabilities. They are especially well suited for oscillating movements and high-frequency operations.
Wrapped bearing bushes are widely used in automotive suspensions, hydraulic cylinders, construction machinery, and textile manufacturing due to their ability to operate under both dry and lubricated conditions. Their compact structure and minimal maintenance requirements provide a cost-effective solution for reducing system complexity while maintaining high performance.
Custom Sizes & Expert Support
We understand that not every application is the same. That’s why we offer custom-manufactured oilite bushings and wrapped bushes to meet the exact requirements of your design. Whether you require one-off components or bulk supply, our team is ready to assist with technical advice and precision machining services.
