SKF PCMW E series plain bearings are thin-walled, self-lubricating bushings built to handle radial loads in oscillating or rotating motion. They reduce friction and wear between metal surfaces without needing extra lubrication, and their compact design fits into tight spaces, which simplifies maintenance and helps extend component life.
The PCMW code identifies these as SKF plain bearings. The numbers that follow give the key dimensions: for PCMW 122401.5 E, the first two digits (12) are the inner diameter in millimeters, the next two (24) are the outer diameter, and 1.5 is the width. The E suffix marks a design variant in the series. Reading the code this way helps you match the bushing to the space and load in your application.
These bushings appear in food processing, textile, automotive, and machine tool equipment, among others. They are common in linkages, camshafts, pumps, fans, and transmission components. Because they operate without lubrication, they suit hard-to-reach locations where maintenance access is limited.
When selecting a bushing, consider radial load, sliding speed, and operating temperature. Install it carefully to avoid damaging the friction surface; a suitable mandrel or press is recommended. Shaft and housing alignment is critical for smooth operation and long service life. Although self-lubricating, a small amount of initial lubricant can help seating in some applications.
SKF PCMW E bushings can be interchanged with equivalent products from other brands if dimensions and tolerances match. Check material compatibility and load type for best performance. For a quote, send the complete part number and your operating conditions. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this brand as part of its plain bearing line.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the E suffix mean in PCMW bushings?
- The E suffix indicates a design variant within the PCMW series. It may refer to differences in material, sealing type, or performance characteristics. Check the product data sheet or contact us to confirm exact specifications.
- Do these bushings require lubrication?
- No, they are self-lubricating. Their design reduces friction without external lubricant. In demanding applications, initial lubrication can help seating and extend service life.
- How do I choose the correct PCMW bushing size?
- Consider shaft diameter, housing diameter, and available width. The designation includes these measurements in millimeters. If unsure, send us your application dimensions and we will advise.
