PM Flanged Bearings are self-lubricating bearings incorporating an integrated flange structure for axial positioning and simplified assembly.
PM (Powdered Metal) flange bearings are self-lubricating, pressed bronze or iron components. Designed with an extended rim or flange on one end, they are widely used for maintenance-free operation in appliances, light machinery, and outdoor power equipment (e.g., Husqvarna Flange Bearings)
Powder Metallurgy allows:
One-piece manufacturing
High dimensional consistency
High-volume production

FAQ:
Why use flanged bearings?
The flange provides axial positioning and prevents bearing movement during operation.
What is the difference between Powder Metal gears and MIM gears?
Powder Metallurgy gears are generally preferred for medium and large production volumes of simple to moderately complex transmission components due to their excellent cost efficiency and larger size capability.
Metal Injection Molding gears are more suitable for miniature and highly complex components requiring intricate geometries, thin walls, undercuts, or integrated functional features.
By offering both technologies, we can recommend the most suitable manufacturing process based on component geometry, performance requirements, production volume, and target cost.
