General Industrial Solutions for Simplified Installation
Maintain Productivity and Reduce Maintenance Costs

Product engineering often requires consideration not just for the finished product, but also the manufacturing process. Overly complex or difficult to assemble components might function well in the finished product, but they could create unnecessary bottlenecks in the manufacturing operation or the potential for incorrect assembly and future warranty claims. In most cases, simpler is better.

When it comes to bearings, GGB plain bearings maintain exactly those advantages over conventional roller and needle-type bearings. Their simple, one-piece design eliminates the potential for failed individual components. Plus, we design our plain bearings to be easily and quickly installed to ensure optimal productivity and reliability.

Most of our general industrial bearing solutions can be installed at room temperature without the use of oil or special heating or cooling equipment. Furthermore, lead-in chambers on the outside diameter allow them to be mounted using simple hand tools. Compared to conventional roller or needle bearings, there really is no comparison.

Added benefits of GGB plain bearings are lower weight and increased load capacity, which translate into energy savings and lower cost of ownership.

Industrial Grade Performance
From the Inventors of Metal-Polymer Bearing Technology

Whether you’re designing a conveyor system, hydraulic cylinders or an overhead, crane GGB’s DX^® and DP4^™ metal-polymer plain bearings deliver the durability, performance and versatility to make your project a success. Designed for a wide range of general industrial applications, DP4^™ and DX^® are suitable for linear, oscillating and rotating movement applications.

Celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, the DX® bearing material is ideal for use in marginally lubricated grease or oil applications and is available in cylindrical bush, thrust washer, sliding plate and custom configurations. It provides optimal performance under relatively high loads and low speeds.

Designed for a wide range of loads, speeds and temperatures, the DP4™ bearing material is suitable for use in both dry and lubricated applications. Consisting of a steel backing with a PTFE sliding layer, it is available in a variety of configurations to meet a number of application requirements.
