As a trusted supplier of Croft NSO Heavy Duty Plummer solutions, Bowman delivers precision-engineered bearing assemblies that combine long service life with easy maintenance and reliable performance.

The Croft NSO Medium Heavy Duty range is available in an extensive selection of bore sizes to suit shaft diameters from 25 mm to 200 mm (1″ to 8″), making it suitable for a wide variety of industrial equipment. The fully split housing and replaceable gunmetal bearing inserts allow maintenance teams to inspect or replace worn bearing shells without removing the shaft or dismantling surrounding machinery. This significantly reduces maintenance time, lowers operating costs, and minimises equipment downtime.

Available in both medium and heavy-duty configurations, the range can be specified according to application requirements. Medium-duty units are supplied with gunmetal bearings measuring 1½ shaft diameters through, while the NSO Series Heavy Duty Bearing features bearing inserts measuring 2 shaft diameters through.
