Source sintered metric flanged bearings from PM Distributors across Australia by matching shaft, housing, flange and operating requirements.

Sintered metric flanged bearings can provide compact shaft support where an assembly needs a metric plain bearing with an integral locating flange. At PM Distributors, we supply a listed range in multiple metrics bore, outside-diameter, length, flange-diameter and flange-thickness combinations for machinery and replacement requirements across Australia.

What Should You Check Before Ordering Sintered Metric Flanged Bearings?

Start with the shaft, housing and operating conditions rather than selecting a bearing from bore size alone. The flange can provide a locating face at the housing, while the cylindrical bearing section supports relative movement between the shaft and housing. Suitability still depends on the complete application.

Before ordering, confirm:

• Shaft diameter: Check the finished shaft diameter, tolerance and surface condition against the requirements of the selected bearing.
• Housing bore: Confirm the housing diameter and material because the installed fit can affect the bearing’s final internal diameter.
• Bearing length: Match the available housing space and anticipated radial loading rather than choosing length only from an existing part’s appearance.
• Flange dimensions: Verify flange diameter and thickness against the housing face, adjacent parts and available axial clearance.
• Operating conditions: Record load, speed, temperature, duty cycle, motion type and environmental conditions so the application can be assessed more accurately.

Our metric flanged bearing range lists part numbers and dimensions in millimetres, including ID, OD, bearing length, flange diameter and flange thickness.

Why Does the Installed Fit Matter?

A sintered bearing can close in after being pressed into a housing, so its installed bore may differ from its free-state dimension. The 2026 GGB Metafram sintered bearing guide notes that press installation and housing conditions affect the final inside diameter. For that reason, replacement bearings should be checked against both the shaft and housing rather than selected by nominal catalogue size alone.

For existing machinery, provide measured dimensions, an original part number where available and information about the housing material. Maintenance teams replacing an unknown bearing should avoid if a measured used component represents its original manufactured dimensions.

How Do Oil-Impregnated Sintered Bearings Work?

Sintered bronze bearings have a porous structure that retains lubricant, but performance still depends on factors such as load, speed, movement and temperature. Our oil-impregnated bearing guide explains how these bearings retain and release lubricant during operation. Operating conditions and any product-specific lubrication requirements should still be confirmed before selection.

PM Distributors also publishes technical information for sintered bearings, including material specifications and installation considerations. Where a standard listed size does not suit, our product range also includes solid and hollow sintered bronze bar for off-standard requirements that can be machined separately.

Send Us the Dimensions Before You Order

A reliable bearing enquiry starts with enough information to identify the required size and check whether a listed component matches the machinery. Sintered metric flanged bearings should therefore be selected from actual dimensions and application details, not from appearance alone.

PM Distributors supplies sintered bearing products nationwide from our Truganina, Victoria base. Contact us with the shaft diameter, housing bore, bearing length, flange dimensions, part number and operating details so we can check the listed range and availability for your requirement.
