Plain bearings
Over 1 million plain bearings in stock in 6,500 designs
Plain bearings have been part of our product range at THN since 1974. We offer a wide range of plain bearings, flanged bearings, strips and thrust washers with and without a flange. In addition to this extensive standard range, in most cases it is possible to supply plain bearings in non-standard materials, dimensions, tolerances and designs.
Many of our plain bearings are produced according to specific customer requirements. Whether for special sizes, materials or applications, we supply plain bearings that exactly match your technical requirements.
Why choose THN?
Sintered bronze bearings
Sintered bronze bearings and flanged bearings are characterized by being self-lubricating and maintenance-free. Sintered plain bearings are made of porous bronze or iron and are usually filled with oil. Their high permissible sliding velocities make sintered bronze bearings ideally suited for rotating applications.

PTFE bearings
PTFE bearings, flanged bearings and thrust washers are ideal for applications with high loads and moderate speeds. They are characterized by being maintenance-free. The PTFE bearings are produced according to ISO 3547.

POM bearings
POM bearings and thrust washers have been specially developed for marginally lubricated applications and can thus function for long periods with minimal lubrication. The POM bearings are produced according to ISO 3547.

Applications
At THN, we understand that every application requires a specific type of plain bearing. Whether for electric motors, heavy industry or marine environments, we offer the right solution.
Plain bearings for light applications
For applications where precision and efficiency are important, we offer low-maintenance and self-lubricating solutions. Sinterbronze plain bearings are perfect for small electric motors and precision instruments, thanks to their long life and minimal maintenance. PTFE dry bearings are ideal for hydraulic systems and industrial machinery, where lubrication is not desired or possible. POM plain bearings operate for long periods of time with minimal lubrication and are widely used in agricultural and construction machinery.
Plain Bearings for Heavy -duty applications.
For rugged environments where bearings need to withstand rough handling, we have strong and durable solutions. Rolled bronze plain bearings are resistant to dirt and heavy loads, making them widely used in the mining and steel industries. Turned bronze plain bearings are designed for extreme conditions, such as in shipbuilding and offshore. And for the toughest conditions, there are maintenance-free plain bearings with lubricating pins that withstand extreme loads and weather conditions with ease.
Whatever your application, we will be happy to help you find the right plain bearing!
Wrapped bronze bearings
Wrapped bronze bearings and flanged bearings are ideal for applications where there are high levels of contamination. Their sliding surface is provided with diamond-shaped lubrication pockets or a hole pattern. The wrapped bronze bearings are produced according to ISO 3547.
