The lightweight, corrosion-resistant bearings exhibit excellent dimensional stability, low friction, high wear-resistance, pressure and creep resistance as well as low thermal expansion. The self-lubricating bearings are virtually maintenance-free, eliminating the need for additional lubrication and the potential for contamination, making them ideal for applications that come into contact with food, beverages, pharmaceuticals and other products intended for human consumption.

GGB offers extensive experience and technical expertise, working closely with customers to develop tribologically optimized, application-specific bearing solutions. For more information please contact marketing@ggbearings.com.
