Bimetal Bearings
Bimetal bearings combine a steel backing with a bearing layer to handle load, reduce wear and support smooth sliding. We supply bimetal bearings, bushings, flanged bushings and thrust washers for industrial equipment and machinery.
Bimetal Bearings for High-Load Applications
Bimetal bearings are made by combining two metal layers with different functions. The steel backing provides mechanical strength and dimensional stability, while the bearing layer provides the required sliding and wear performance.
These bearings are commonly used in applications where high load capacity, good wear resistance and reliable operation are required. Bimetal bearing designs are available in cylindrical bushings, flanged bushings and thrust washers to suit different mechanical requirements.
Bimetal Bearing Types
Bimetal Bushings
Cylindrical bimetal bushings designed for high-load sliding applications and demanding operating conditions.
Bimetal Flanged Bushings
Flanged bimetal bushings provide radial and axial support in applications where integrated flange surfaces are required.
Bimetal Thrust Washers
Bimetal thrust washers are designed to accommodate axial loads and provide wear-resistant sliding surfaces.
Aluminum Bronze Bushings
Aluminum bronze bushings offer high strength, wear resistance and corrosion resistance for demanding industrial applications.
Bimetal Bearing Structure
Bimetal bearings consist of two bonded metal layers. Each layer has a different function.
Provides the sliding surface and helps resist wear.
Provides strength and supports the bearing under load.
Bimetal Bearing Materials & Lubrication
Materials
Bimetal bearings and bushings can be manufactured with different bearing-layer materials to meet specific load, wear, temperature and lubrication requirements.
- Steel BackingProvides strength and support.
- Sintered BronzeProvides the sliding and wear surface.
- Aluminum BronzeOffers good strength and wear resistance.
- Other Bearing AlloysAvailable for specific applications.
Lubrication
Depending on the bearing design and application, bimetal bearings can operate with oil, grease or additional lubrication systems.
- Oil LubricationSuitable for applications using continuous or circulating oil.
- Grease LubricationUsed where grease is supplied during operation or maintenance.
- Solid LubricationUses solid lubricants where oil or grease is not suitable.
- Dry OperationSome bearing designs can work without regular oil or grease lubrication.

Bimetal Bearings Applications
Automotive Engine Connecting Rods
Used in connecting rods of automobile engines to support rotating movement and handle load.
Gearboxes
Used in gearboxes to support moving parts and reduce wear during operation.
Oil Pumps
Used in oil pumps to support moving parts and provide wear resistance.
Track Rollers
Used in track rollers for heavy machinery and other high-load applications.
Piston Pumps
Used in piston pumps to support moving parts under repeated loads.
Automobile Rear Axles
Used in automobile rear axles to support moving parts and reduce wear.
How to Select Bimetal Bearings
Consider radial and axial loads.
Consider sliding speed and operating frequency.
Check the operating temperature range.
Determine whether oil, grease or another lubrication method is required.
Match the bearing ID, OD, length, clearance and tolerances with the shaft and housing.
For application-specific bearing selection, provide your bearing dimensions, load, speed, temperature and lubrication conditions.
Bimetal Bearings FAQ
What are bimetal bearings?
Bimetal bearings are bearings made from two metal layers. A steel backing provides strength and support, while the sintered bearing layer provides the sliding surface and wear resistance.
What are bimetal bearings used for?
Bimetal bearings are used in parts that need to support load and allow sliding or rotating movement. Common applications include automobile engine connecting rods, gearboxes, oil pumps, track rollers, piston pumps and automobile rear axles.
What is the difference between bimetal bearings and solid bronze bearings?
Bimetal bearings have a steel backing and a bearing layer, while solid bronze bearings are made from bronze throughout the bearing wall. The steel backing gives bimetal bearings additional strength and support, while solid bronze bearings offer the material properties of bronze throughout the bearing. The better choice depends on the load, size and working conditions of the application.
Can bimetal bearings operate under high loads?
Yes. Bimetal bearings can be used for high-load applications. The steel backing provides strength and support, while the sintered bearing layer provides the required sliding and wear properties. The suitable bearing depends on the load, speed, temperature, lubrication and operating conditions.
Can bimetal bearings be customized?
Yes. Bimetal bearings can be supplied in different sizes and specifications according to the application. If you have a drawing, bearing sample or specific requirements, you can send them to us for review.
What dimensions are available for bimetal bearings?
Bimetal bearings can be supplied in different inside diameters, outside diameters, lengths, wall thicknesses and running clearances. Standard and custom dimensions can be selected according to the shaft, housing and application requirements.
