About the LN Series
The LN Series Brass Bearings are fully split plain bearing units designed for reliable shaft support, easy maintenance, and long service life in industrial applications. Developed as a direct replacement for the earlier LS Series, the LN Series Brass Bearing range features fully machined split inserts and cast iron housings, allowing worn bearing inserts to be replaced without changing the complete housing. This design significantly reduces maintenance costs, minimises equipment downtime, and extends the operational life of the bearing assembly.
Manufactured by an experienced split brass bearing manufacturer, the LN Series combines a durable cast iron housing with precision-machined gunmetal bearing inserts to deliver dependable performance in demanding operating environments. Unlike disposable bearing assemblies, the replaceable insert design allows maintenance teams to restore the bearing unit quickly and economically, making it an ideal solution for industrial machinery requiring long-term serviceability.
The LN Series Plummer Block is available with an almost unlimited range of bore sizes to accommodate shaft diameters from 15 mm to 50 mm (½” to 2″). This flexibility enables the bearing to be specified for a wide variety of machinery and custom applications. Each gunmetal bush is manufactured to a length of 1½ shaft diameters, providing excellent shaft support, improved load distribution, and increased bearing life under normal operating conditions.
Designed as a robust split bronze rigid bearing, the LN Series provides excellent dimensional stability and reliable performance in applications where rigid shaft support is essential. The fully split housing and bearing insert simplify installation and maintenance, allowing inspections and insert replacement without removing adjacent components or dismantling the complete shaft assembly. This reduces maintenance time and improves overall plant productivity.
The rigid brass bearing series is widely used across manufacturing plants, conveyors, agricultural equipment, material handling systems, processing machinery, and general industrial equipment where dependable plain bearing performance is required. As a trusted supplier of LN Bearing Housing UK solutions, Bowman provides high-quality products manufactured to precise engineering standards for customers throughout the UK and international markets.
Whether specified for new machinery or as a replacement for older LS Series units, the LN Split Brass Plummer range delivers an economical, serviceable, and long-lasting bearing solution. With replaceable inserts, precision machining, and robust construction, the LN Series Brass Bearings offer an efficient solution for industrial applications requiring durable and easily maintained split plain bearing assemblies.
