GGB Extends Range of Self-Lubricating Sinter Bronze and Sinter Iron Bearings
Product News Thursday, December 7, 2017: GGB North America
GGB Bearing Technology, formerly Glacier Garlock Bearings, now offers an extended range of self-lubricating sinter bronze and sinter iron bearings.
The bearings from the METAFRAM® series were developed for applications with high sliding speeds, which require low friction and resistance to frequent start/stop operation and corrosion. They are well suited for applications where conventional lubrication is not possible, and can replace existing lubricated bearings.
Manufactured by compressing metal powder under high pressure, the sintered bearings have a porous structure that can be impregnated with lubricants. For applications with extreme temperatures and higher speeds or loads, the bearings can be impregnated with suitable solid lubricants such as MoS2 and PTFE.
Standard bearing materials include GGB-BP25™, GGB-FP20™ and GGB-SO16™, but additional materials are available for higher speeds and higher loads.
The METAFRAM® sintered bronze series is available in a standard assortment of cylindrical and flanged bushes. Available on request are sintered bronze and sintered iron plain bearings based on designs and drawings provided by the customer.
