WMG® BEARINGS: DESIGNED FOR DIVERSE APPLICATIONS ACROSS MULTIPLE INDUSTRIES
Our WMG series of plastic bearings are designed for diverse applications across multiple industries. Made from high-performance thermoplastics, they offer excellent abrasion resistance, making them ideal for environments where dust and particulate matter are constant challenges.
With exceptionally low dynamic friction and minimal stick-slip characteristics, they ensure smooth and efficient operation. We also provide bearings in different plastic materials to meet specific needs. Depending on the quantity required, they can be either machined or moulded.
