The GGB Advantage LOWER SYSTEM COST GGB bearings reduce shaft costs by eliminating the need for hardening and machining grease paths. Their compact, one-piece construction provides space and weight savings and simplifies assembly. LOW-FRICTION, HIGH WEAR RESISTANCE Low coefficients of friction eliminate the need for lubrication, while providing smooth operation, reducing wear and extending service life. Low-friction also eliminates the effects of stick-slip or “stiction” during start up. ENVIRONMENTAL Greaseless, lead-free GGB bearings comply with increasingly stringent environmental...

BY MAKING ADVANCEMENTS IN THE FIELD OF TRIBOLOGY, WE CAN: _ Reduce energy losses - Make our world a little greener Reduce/control friction, decrease wear, increase lifetime and durability - Lower overall operating cost Reduce/control stick-slip, improve precision and reduce noise Keep people safe, improve comfort and quality of life

MOVING FORWARD GGB Company History FOR MORE THAN 120 YEARS, GGB HAS IMPROVED SURFACE ENGINEERING TO MOVE THE WORLD FORWARD. GGB began in 1899 as Glacier Antifriction Metal Company, producing plain bearings and introducing many successful new products to the market, including internationally recognized polymer materials. Over the past 120 years, our company has continued forming strategic partnerships, continuously expanding into a global network of manufacturing facilities, increasing production capabilities and resources to become who we are today: world leaders in tribological innovation....
