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 regulations...

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
