Timken plain bearings deliver self‑lubricating, low‑friction bearings, bushings, rod ends, and tribological coatings engineered for high loads, corrosion resistance, noise reduction, and maintenance‑free performance across industrial markets.
Consisting of a strong metal backing and sintered bronze layer impregnated with a PTFE- or high‑performance thermoplastic‑enriched anti‑friction overlay—delivering low friction, exceptional wear resistance, customizable designs, and maintenance‑reducing performance.
Created from thermoplastic material and injection‑molded for flexible designs, GGB's Engineered Plastics bearings deliver low friction, excellent wear and shock resistance, with lightweight, grease‑free performance in both dry and lubricated conditions for demanding applications.
Features a filament‑wound, epoxy‑impregnated fiberglass backing with low‑friction, wear‑resistant PTFE linings to deliver high load capacity, corrosion resistance, and durable, dimensionally stable performance.
For demanding environments, GGB's broad range of metal and bimetal bearings deliver durable, corrosion-resistance performance engineered for heavy loads and shock resilience for improved reliability across harsh applications.
GGB’s polymer coatings deliver self‑lubricating, corrosion‑resistant tribological protection, available in multiple polymer matrices to provide tailored load capacity and temperature performance across industries.
The Aurora line encompasses over 30 series of rod ends and spherical bearings, the widest selection in the industry.
Timken’s spherical plain bearings (SPBs), or bushings, are metal-on-metal bearings consisting of a spherically ground inner ring housed in a mating outer ring without any rolling elements.
GGB’s UNI, MINI and EXALIGN self-aligning assemblies reduce stress and friction from shaft misalignment—delivering automatic micro-adjustment, greater reliability, longer service life, and lower ownership costs for demanding applications.
