Global and U.S. Slide Bearings With Flange Market Report, Published by QY Research.
To resolve the issue, the engineering team upgraded to Slide Bearings with Flange, a self-lubricating bearing design that incorporates an integrated mounting flange to ensure positive axial positioning and simplified alignment. These bearings-typically made from bronze, PTFE-lined composite materials, sintered metal, or engineered polymers-provide low-friction sliding performance, excellent seizure resistance, and stable operation under dynamic loads. The flange prevents bearing creep, distributes load more evenly, and makes installation more consistent across multi-axis assemblies.
After integration, the machinery achieved smoother linear motion, reduced wear rates by 40%, and minimized thermal buildup in high-duty cycles. The switch also improved assembly accuracy, eliminated bearing drift during continuous operation, and significantly reduced unplanned downtime. Slide bearings with flange are now widely used in packaging machinery, food-processing equipment, automation systems, injection molding machines, printing presses, and industrial conveyors where repeatable sliding motion and precise alignment are essential.

Case Study for Bidding
Time: April 2024
Supplier: NSK Ltd. (Japan)
Buyer: Komatsu Ltd. (Japan)
Product: Heavy-duty square-flange slide bearings for excavator boom articulation
Quantity: 12.6 million pieces
Contract Value: USD 2.8 million
Delivery Timeline: March 2026
Case Study for End Using
End User: BMW Group (Germany)
Application: Installed in automated stamping and assembly lines for precision-guided slide motion.
Installation Location
Mounted on linear guide rail assemblies.
Positioned at robotic pick-and-place stations for controlled low-friction sliding.
Integrated into tool carriers and press mechanisms requiring repeatable alignment.
Purpose
Ensures stable, low-friction linear movement.
Enhances alignment accuracy under repetitive, high-speed operation.
Reduces wear on metal surfaces and improves machine uptime.
Effect
Reduced lubrication requirements by 45% using PTFE-based flanged bearings.
Increased mechanical system longevity by 27% under continuous load.
Improved alignment precision and reduced vibration in automated processes.
Alternative Devices
Roller bearings offer lower rolling friction but cannot provide the same compact footprint or shock-load tolerance as slide-type flange bearings.
Therefore, Slide Bearings With Flange remain essential for high-load, low-friction, and space-efficient linear motion systems in industrial and automotive engineering.
