Slide Bearings

     


    Whether in high-performance combustion engines, modern axle and brake systems, gearboxes, differentials, or hydraulic pumps. Wieland slide bearings ensure smooth operation worldwide. They also prove their reliability in oscillating applications such as booms or gripper systems in construction and agricultural machinery. With more than 150 active alloys, Wieland offers a unique materials portfolio that provides solutions for a variety of requirements.

     

    Wide range of solutions

    Wieland offers a comprehensive spectrum of slide bearing solutions:

    • Slide bearing bushes and thrust washers
      Manufactured from Wieland strip, tube, or rod, available in nearly all dimensions. Whether with a smooth running surface, grooves, lubrication pockets, or special reservoirs; every version is manufactured to order and ready for installation.
    • Special parts and assemblies
      Milled and turned parts, nuts, or threaded inserts made from copper alloys, individually combined and produced according to customer specifications.
    • Slide shoes and high-performance alloys
      Our slide shoes are high-precision sliding elements that can be used reliably even under high dynamic loads, for example in axial piston pumps, engine construction, and demanding industrial applications.
    • High-performance coatings (AFC & HPC)
      With PFAS-free sliding and polymer coatings, Wieland sets new industry standards. They reduce friction, extend service life, enable energy savings, and already comply with upcoming EU regulations.
