Roller Bearing Replacement

Design engineers increasingly are replacing rolling-element bearings with plain bearings in a wide range of applications.

GGB plain bearings can offer a number of advantages compared with roller bearings, among them space and weight savings, greater load capacity, minimal to no maintenance, compensation for misalignment and noise and vibration damping. The absence of internal moving parts results in quieter, more reliable performance, and simple press fitting into machined housings virtually eliminates installation damage.

Selecting GGB as your single source for plain bearings can allow you to recover valuable resources from procurement and reallocate them to your core business. In the process, you will reduce lead times and costs to sharpen your competitive edge in a highly competitive world.
