    No Grease. No Maintenance.
    • Oil rigs have a lot of grease fittings, which need to be regreased regularly. And when they’re not, it can cause equipment failures. GGB’s grease-free bearings change all that by providing a cost-effective, maintenance-free solution that extends the service life of your equipment.
    Built to Handle Harsh Environments
    • In the oil and gas industry, conditions are harsh—especially on your equipment. Our self-lubricating bearing solutions for oil and gas applications are custom built to last longer and operate in extreme temperatures—extending service life.
