Bearings, Rollers & Sliding Components
Overview
Plastic bearings, rollers, and sliding components are used to reduce friction, wear, and noise in industrial equipment. They are commonly used as alternatives to metal components where corrosion resistance, low maintenance, and smooth movement are required.
We manufacture plastic bearings, rollers, and sliding components to customer drawings and specifications, supplying parts ready for installation in industrial and mechanical applications.
Custom Manufactured to Your Drawings
Most plastic bearing and sliding components are custom made to suit shaft sizes, loads, and operating conditions.
We regularly work from:
-
CAD drawings (DXF, DWG, STEP)
-
Dimensioned sketches or PDFs
-
Existing components supplied as samples
-
Site measurements for replacement parts
Components can be supplied as one-off parts or repeat production runs.
Typical Applications
Plastic bearings, rollers, and sliding components are commonly used for:
Conveyor rollers and guides
Sliding rails and wear surfaces
Bushings and sleeve bearings
Chain and belt guides
Low-speed rotating components
They are widely used across manufacturing, automation, packaging, and material-handling systems.
Key Performance Requirements
Material selection depends on:
Load and pressure
Sliding or rolling speed
Friction and wear requirements
Exposure to moisture, chemicals, or dust
Operating temperature
Correct material selection improves service life and reduces maintenance.
