Wrights Dowson - Ceramic Hanger Bearings and Inserts

Z Bearings are zirconia ceramic bearings manufactured by Morgan Technical Ceramics patented PSZ, and provide:

• Extended bearing life by up to 25 times,
• Substantial increase in journal and shaft life by reducing galling,
• Significant reduction in noise,
• Option to replace only bottom half of a bearing,
• Compliance with CEMA standards,
• FDA approved.

Morgan Technical Ceramics’ advanced process technologies provide you with the strongest, toughest, and most consistent zirconia available. The hardness, corrosion resistance, and abrasion resistance of Z Bearings make them ideal in applications where abrasion takes its toll on un-lubricated bearings, journals, and shafts.

Morgan Technical’s PSZ is as tough as cast iron, has a tensile strength and a coefficient of expansion similar to mild steel, but with four times the compressive strength of mild steel, and very high thermal stability. Long lasting Z Bearings can provide significant increases in productivity and dramatic reductions on maintenance costs, making them the best choice for replacement of conventional metal hanger bearings.

Z Bearings are available in Metric Diameter Sizes of 40mm, 55mm, 60mm, 65mm & 75mm.
Upon request, we can manufacture almost any size or design required to meet your specifications.

In addition to ceramic bearings, Wrights Dowson Group also provide a complete screw conveyor component service, which allows the despatch of anything from a single spare to components for a complete machine.
