Eliminating Corrosion

Special design considerations must be made when the bearing is to operate in a corrosive environment.

The high performance bearing range of fiber reinforced composite bearings GAR-MAX, GAR-FIL, HSG, GGB-MEGALIFE XT and SBC with their reinforced composite structure and inert nature makes these products ideal for corrosive environments such as seawater and acidic environments.

Made with a variety of resins compounded with reinforcing fibers and solid lubricant, the inert nature of injection-molded engineered plastics bearings makes EP, EP12, EP15, EP22, EP30, EP43, EP44, EP63, EP64, EP73 and EP79  perfect for corrosive environments.

Bronze baked metal-polymer DP4-B and DU-B bearings offer improved corrosion resistance in outdoor conditions such as in water, marine, and offshore environments. (DP4-B is the recommended product as DU-B contains lead in the bearing overlay)
