GGB HPM / HPMB (high-performance metal / bronze)
GGB HPM / HPMB (high-performance metal / bronze) 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. The solid bronze / bronze-with-solid-lubricant-plug family for very high loads, high temperatures and shock — the heavy-duty metal counterpart to Bushingo's sintered-metal families BP25 (bronze) and, as a solid-metal option, FP20 (sintered iron). Comparable to graphite-plugged cast-bronze bearings such as Oiles and deva.metal / CIP graphite-bronze products.
Specification
| Brand | GGB |
|---|---|
| Series | GGB HPM / HPMB (high-performance metal / bronze) |
| Material | Solid cast/wrought bronze and metal bearing materials; HPMB is bronze embedded with solid-lubricant plugs (e.g. graphite) for self-lubricating, maintenance-free running |
| Forms | Cylindrical bush, Flanged bush, Thrust washer, Wear plate |
| Typical size range | Medium to large bores for heavy-section components; general/typical only, sized to application at quote. |
Key features
- Very high static and dynamic load capacity
- Suited to high temperatures, heavy shock and low speeds
- Solid-lubricant plugs give maintenance-free operation (HPMB)
- Robust in contaminated and abrasive environments
- Excellent for slow oscillating, high-load duties
Typical applications
- Presses, dies and tooling
- Heavy machinery and steel/metals plant
- Construction and mining equipment
- Marine and offshore
- Turntables and slew rings
