GGB Fiber Reinforced Composite Bearing (FRC)
No grease required, no maintenance needed, low wear, high load capacity, chemical resistance, corrosion resistance. Reinforced epoxy resin with glass fibers achieves lightweight and high durability.
Founded in the United States in 1899, GGB is a manufacturer of sliding bearings specialized in polymer and non-metal friction technology. The fiber-reinforced composite bearings (FRC), made from epoxy resin and glass fibers, minimize wear on the sliding surfaces with filled PTFE fibers. <Reasons to Choose Our Products> 1. Can replace traditional metal bushes 2. The FRC series, consisting of nine product groups, offers suitable options that match customer needs 3. Applicable to a wide range of environments, including dry, underwater, and harsh construction sites 4. Excellent bearing performance (high load, impact resistance, low friction, low wear, chemical resistance) 5. For severely contaminated environments, FRC bearings with built-in dry lip seals ensure long lifespan
basic information
- Physical Properties (Excerpt of maximum values for FRC 9 products. Please refer to the catalog for details) Maximum Compressive Strength: 621 N/mm² Maximum Surface Pressure (Static): 415 N/mm² Maximum Surface Pressure (Dynamic): 140 N/mm² Maximum Surface Speed: 2.5 m/s Maximum Operating Temperature: 280 degrees Celsius - Reduction of System Costs GGB bearings reduce shaft costs by eliminating the need for hardened grease channels and machining. The compact integrated structure allows for space-saving and weight reduction, simplifying assembly. - Low Friction, High Wear Resistance Due to the low coefficient of friction, they operate smoothly, reducing wear and extending service life while eliminating the need for lubricants. Additionally, they avoid the effects of stick-slip ("stiction") during startup. - Maintenance-Free GGB bearings are self-lubricating, making them suitable for applications requiring long bearing life without continuous maintenance, as well as operating conditions with insufficient or no lubricants. - Environmental Aspects GGB bearings, which do not use grease and are lead-free, comply with increasingly stringent environmental regulations.
