Once it was thought that complex parts required complex rolling-element bearings, but designers are learning that plain bearings’ design simplicity has its advantages.https://www.engnetglobal.com/showcase/product.aspx/16765?ref=rss,ggb0027 Dec 2017 10:06:00Steel producers are known for their massive steel plants, many of which feature rolling mill divisions tasked with carrying out the tedious process of transforming cast slabs, blooms, and billets into a myriad of metal products.https://www.engnetglobal.com/showcase/product.aspx/16764?ref=rss,ggb0027 Dec 2017 10:03:44Bearing Challenges in the Food & Beverage Industries - The food and beverage industries present unique problems and challenges to bearing manufacturers. Baking 10,000 pies a day, for example, demands automated processes and equipment, including baking pies on a conveyor belt that travels through a 500° furnace. The bearings take a beating from thehttps://www.engnetglobal.com/showcase/product.aspx/16763?ref=rss,ggb0027 Dec 2017 09:58:46GGB Bearing Technology, formerly Glacier Garlock Bearings, now offers an extended range of self-lubricating sinter bronze and sinter iron bearings.https://www.engnetglobal.com/showcase/product.aspx/16762?ref=rss,ggb0027 Dec 2017 09:52:58On June 24, NASA’s Mars Curiosity Rover, which is fitted with metal-polymer bearings from GGB Bearing Technology, completed the first 687-day Martian year of its mission. It landed on the red planet on August 5, 2012.https://www.engnetglobal.com/showcase/product.aspx/11258?ref=rss,ggb0025 May 2015 16:26:39With a bearing structure comprised of polymer PTFE (polytetrafluoro-ethylene) and non-metallic anti-wear additives in the sliding layer of the bearing, metal-to-metal contact between the GGB bearing and a metallic counter face, typically the shaft, is avoided. This reduces the creation of noise during operation or when the shaft is not rotating but moving under vibration.https://www.engnetglobal.com/c/c.aspx/GGB002/productdetail/reduce-noise?ref=rss,ggb0025 May 2015 15:45:54GGB offers a range of products that can operate in corrosive conditions. For example, GGB`s high performance bearing range of filament wound bearings GAR-MAX®, GAR-FIL®, HSG™, MEGALIFE® XT and SBC™ with their reinforced composite structure and inert nature makes these products ideal for corrosive environments such as seawater and acidic environments.https://www.engnetglobal.com/c/c.aspx/GGB002/productdetail/eliminate-corrosion?ref=rss,ggb0025 May 2015 15:43:48With their one piece compact design, GGB`s high performance bearings are simple to assemble into the housing compared to, for example, rolling element bearings or other bearing assemblies.https://www.engnetglobal.com/c/c.aspx/GGB002/productdetail/simplify-assembly?ref=rss,ggb0025 May 2015 15:42:15GGB offers a complete range of different types of high performance plain bearings in order to meet operating requirements of numerous applications and in diverse and difficult operating conditions such as high loads, shock loads, low and high operating temperatures, abrasive environments, etc.https://www.engnetglobal.com/c/c.aspx/GGB002/productdetail/reduce-size-weight?ref=rss,ggb0025 May 2015 15:24:26Design engineers are increasingly replacing roller or needle bearings with plain bearings in a wide range of applications.
