Who is GGB
Our passion fuels groundbreaking advancements that enhance human potential. By collaborating closely from the early design stages, we push beyond conventional surface engineering solutions, developing tailored, high-performance technologies. Built on a foundation of trust, determination, and respect, we cultivate strong partnerships that inspire creativity, foster collaboration, and deliver exceptional results.
Consisting of a metal backing for high mechanical strength and a sintered bronze layer, Metal-Polymer bearings are impregnated with an anti-friction overlay enriched with PTFE or high performing thermoplastic combined with fillers to obtain an optimal running surface.
Offering superior anti-friction and wear-resistant properties, Metal-Polymer bearings can operate dry or with external lubrication—delivering superior performance through its unique composite structure.
To keep innovating in the space of tribological bearings, we continue to push ourselves to increase wear resistance while improving friction. Recent advances that deliver improved tribological properties are creating opportunities to meet these challenges and help revolutionize component design and manufacturing. Ideal for hundreds of applications in a variety of global industries, Metal-Polymer solutions are easily customized for customer specifications and requirements: from grooves and holes for lubricant to punched and stamped shapes.
In any project, considering tribological requirements as early as possible in the system design process is critical to ensuring optimal performance or expand beyond traditional surface engineering solutions. This allows you to take full advantage of part shape to minimize the number of components and maximize service life. Depending on your application’s requirements, our Metal-Polymer bearings can be customized for a wide range of uses. Many shapes and sizes are possible—with inner diameters ranging from 2mm/0.08in to more than 500mm/20in.
Finally, the type of loading applied to a bearing determines which shape is required from the following:
Low Friction Energy Efficiency
Increased Durability and Reliability
