Building the Future: GGB Solutions for Sustainable Construction

The construction industry faces extreme conditions—dust, moisture, heavy loads, shock, and vibration—all contributing to wear, corrosion, and high maintenance costs. Design engineers must overcome these challenges while ensuring efficiency and sustainability. 

GGB’s advanced bearing solutions, including Metal-Polymer, Fiber-Reinforced Composite, Metal and Bimetal bearings, along with TriboShield® polymer coatings, provide durability, reduce friction, and extend service life in demanding environments.

Low Friction Solutions for Prosthetics & Prosthesis | GGB Keeps Humanity Moving

Prosthetic manufacturers face the challenge of high costs, tight tolerances, lack of specialists and growing regulations. GGB’s bearing and coating solutions are specifically designed to meet and exceed these requirements. Experience the benefits of lightweight, improved performance through low friction and excellent wear resistance, increased durability, excellent corrosion resistance, reduced system noise and constant behavior. Prosthetic users can rely on TriboShield® polymer coatings and TriboMate® paired coating solutions to keep them in motion while offering excellent stability and fluid movement.

The Big Challenges for Crane Manufacturers & MRO

Automatic lubrication system failure, demanding environments, noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) issues as well as high maintenance costs are major challenges for the crane industry. With GGB's tribological plain bearings and polymer coating solutions, you can increase the productivity of your crane system, extend its service life, and reduce downtime and maintenance costs. Benefit from our self-lubricating, grease-free plain bearings, TriboShield® polymer coatings and paired TriboMate® coatings solutions which offer low friction and high wear resistance.

GGB heavy-duty bearing solutions for railway applications

As railway technology increases, railroad and tramway vehicles require more heavy-duty, high-performance bearings that can withstand harsh operating and environmental conditions. Our self-lubricating plain railway bearings offer high-load capacity, low friction and a large operating temperature range. These railroad bearings are ideal for helping to reduce noise and vibration, increase energy efficiency, and extend maintenance intervals.

Applications

Bearing & Coating Solutions for Crane Applications

In industrial industries where crane applications are being utilized, crane design engineers must manage a multitude of unique challenges from greasing systems, to sealing issues, to managing NVH. All these challenges pose big impacts on the operations bottom line. No matter the challenge, we’re committed to working alongside our partners to incorporate innovative and cost-effective tribological solutions. In this video, we review a seaport crane application where the partner needed to develop a complete system solution. The system would benefit from a grease-free solution that could withstand contact friction with no stick slip effect. Since environments where cranes are utilized tend to be dirty, the system also needed improved sealing to keep it contaminant free. Through collaboration, we were able to create a system utilizing GGB’s TriboMate® solution, a traditional GGB plain bearing paired with our TriboShield® polymer coatings featuring a sealing solution from a trusted partner company. The utilization of material formulations on both surfaces in contact exponentially improved the system’s performance while reducing environmental toxins – specifically into the water/sea/ocean in this case.
