In the metal industry, it is crucial that equipment operates efficiently at maximum performance without the need for regular maintenance or servicing. Self-lubricating, maintenance-free sliding bearings ensure stable low friction, absorb high forces and contribute to predictable operation – reducing the need for maintenance.
The metal industry can be the equipment. That's because the operating environments are extreme – often exposed to dirty, abrasive conditions where maintenance is often difficult or impossible. GGB designs slider bearings accordingly because we know it's crucial that your equipment runs efficiently at peak performance for a longer period of time – without needing regular maintenance or service.
Our self-lubricating, maintenance-free slider bearings last longer and perform better even in the toughest steel mills or foundry environments. They are designed to increase bearing life and extend the life of your equipment, with surface engineering solutions specially designed for your application.
Superior wear resistance and high shock load capacity result in extended service life, while low-friction properties reduce power loss for improved equipment performance.
Our surface solutions eliminate the need for hardening and machining of grease webs, while providing space and weight savings for simplified assembly.
Low coefficients of friction eliminate the need for lubrication, while providing smooth operation, reducing wear and tear and extending service life.
Our slider bearings can operate in extreme temperatures ranging from -200°C to 800°C.
Our self-lubricating surface engineering solutions for applications in the metal industry are specially designed to meet your specific requirements and significantly reduce, minimize and even prevent downtime.
