United States Sliding Bearing Market Report and Forecast 2025-2034
Description
The United States sliding bearing market size reached USD 246.40 Million in 2024. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.68% between 2025 and 2034, reaching USD 428.12 Million by 2034.
Metallic materials, like bronze or steel, drive the United States sliding bearing market growth due to their high load-bearing capacity, ideal for heavy load and high-pressure applications
Metallic sliding bearings, such as bronze or steel, demonstrate exceptional load-bearing capabilities, suitable for heavy loads and pressures. With superior thermal and electrical conductivity, they effectively dissipate heat and conduct electricity. Their corrosion resistance, found in alloys like stainless steel, ensures durability in harsh environments, while their ability to withstand high temperatures suits elevated operating conditions.
Non-metallic sliding bearings, comprising polymers or composites, feature low friction properties, reducing wear and energy consumption. Materials like PTFE or nylon possess inherent self-lubricating characteristics, minimizing the need for external lubrication. Lightweight and resistant to chemicals, they are utilized in weight-sensitive aerospace or automotive applications, ensuring durability in corrosive industrial environments.
In September 2022, Schaller Automation expanded its BEAROMOS sliding-bearing monitoring system to encompass all crankshaft-related bearings. Developed in collaboration with RWTH Aachen University, the BEAROMOS2020 system detects the transition from hydrodynamic lubrication to mixed friction, providing early indications of metal-to-metal contact and potential damage initiation.
