GGB EL / HSG (filament-wound composite)
GGB EL / HSG (filament-wound composite) is part of the GGB range of metal-polymer (ptfe) composite plain bearings — with engineered-plastic (solid polymer), fibre-reinforced filament-wound composite, and self-lubricating metal/bronze families. A fibre-reinforced filament-wound composite with an integral self-lubricating liner — the structural, very-high-load self-lubricating composite that most closely parallels Bushingo's Metagliss self-lubricating composite friction plates for heavy oscillating and edge-loaded duties, extending into large diameters beyond the sintered families. Cross-referenced with fabric/fibre-lined composite bushes such as GAR-MAX and CIP Composites.
Specification
| Brand | GGB |
|---|---|
| Series | GGB EL / HSG (filament-wound composite) |
| Material | Fibre-reinforced, filament-wound composite; EL incorporates an integral self-lubricating (PTFE-based) fibre liner, while HSG is a high-strength structural grade |
| Forms | Cylindrical bush, Flanged bush, Thrust washer, Wear plate |
| Typical size range | Medium to very large bores (up to several hundred mm in large structural sizes); general/typical guidance, not certified ratings. |
Key features
- Very high static and dynamic load capacity
- Excellent in oscillating and edge-loaded service
- Corrosion resistant and suitable for wet/underwater use
- Integral self-lubricating liner (EL) — maintenance-free
- Tolerant of hardened or softer counterface shafts
- Available in large diameters not practical in wrapped metal-polymer
Typical applications
- Construction and earthmoving equipment
- Hydro turbines and water-control gates
- Marine, offshore and dredging equipment
- Structural and bridge bearings
- Aerospace and defence mechanisms
