S Types Medium Duty SX

The S Type SX Bearing range is designed to provide an economical and reliable solution for supporting rotating shafts in medium-duty industrial applications. Engineered with a fully split cast iron housing and precision-machined gunmetal bearing inserts, these bearing assemblies offer excellent load-carrying capacity, low wear, and simplified maintenance. As an experienced SX bronze bearing manufacturer, Bowman supplies high-quality bearing solutions that combine dependable performance with the convenience of replaceable bearing shells.

The S Type SX Bearing is particularly suited to applications where replacement bearing brasses may be required during routine maintenance. Unlike disposable bearing assemblies, the fully machined split gunmetal inserts can be replaced independently of the housing, helping to reduce maintenance costs and minimise equipment downtime. Every housing is fitted with a 1/8″ BSP grease nipple, allowing efficient lubrication to maximise bearing life and maintain consistent operating performance.

Available in an extensive range of bore sizes, the SX Series Bearing Housing can accommodate shaft diameters from 50 mm to 100 mm (2″ to 4″). The fully split housing design enables bearing inspection and shell replacement without removing the shaft or dismantling surrounding machinery, making maintenance quicker and more cost-effective. The gunmetal bearing inserts are manufactured to 1½ shaft diameters through, providing excellent shaft support and even load distribution for medium-duty operating conditions.

Designed as a dependable medium duty split brass SX solution, the range is widely used across manufacturing plants, conveyors, agricultural equipment, pumps, processing machinery, material handling systems, and general industrial applications. The S Type Split Bronze Bearing construction provides excellent wear resistance and long service life, while the robust cast iron housing ensures dependable performance in continuous-duty environments.

The medium duty split brass plummer design makes the SX range ideal for applications requiring an economical plain bearing that can be maintained and refurbished without replacing the complete assembly. Replacement bearing shells are available from stock, helping maintenance teams reduce downtime and extend equipment life.
