The GGB Advantage
Lower System Cost Environmental
GGB bearings reduce shaft costs by eliminating the Greaseless, lead-free GGB bearings comply with
need for hardening and machining grease paths. increasingly stringent environmental regulations
Their compact, one-piece construction provides such as the EU RoHS directive restricting the use of
space and weight savings and simplifies assembly. hazardous substances in certain types of electrical
and electronic equipment.
Low Friction, High Wear Resistance
Low coefcients of friction eliminate the need Customer Support
for lubrication, while providing smooth operation, GGBs flexible production platform and extensive
reducing wear and extending service life. supply network assure quick turnaround and timely
Low friction also eliminates the effects of stick- deliveries. In addition, we offer local applications
slip or stiction during start up. engineering and technical support.
Maintenance-Free
GGB bearings are self-lubricating, making them ideal
for applications requiring long bearing life without
continuous maintenance, as well as operating
conditions with inadequate or no lubrication.

Fabrication
At temperatures up to 250C the polytetrafluroethylene (PTFE) present in the lining material is completely inert
so that even on the rare occasions in which DP4, DP4-B, DP10 or DP11 bushes are drilled or sized after
assembly there is no danger in boring or burnishing.
At higher temperatures however, small quantities of toxic fumes can be produced and the direct inhalation of
these can cause an influenza type of illness which may not appear for some hours but which subsides without
after-effects in 24-48 hours.
Such fumes can arise from PTFE particles picked up on the end of a cigarette. Therefore smoking should be
prohibited where DP4, DP4-B, DP10 or DP11 are being machined.
