Hydropower design engineers face numerous challenges when creating systems for gates, turbines, and other critical components. These systems must endure high loads, extreme environmental conditions, and constant exposure to water while minimizing the need for frequent maintenance. Engineers prioritize materials with superior wear resistance, corrosion protection, and the ability to accommodate misalignment, all while ensuring compliance with rigorous environmental standards.
GGB grease-free materials eliminate the need for added lubrication, drastically reducing downtime and maintenance costs, leading to longer operational intervals without the need for upkeep.
GGB's bushings and coatings are RoHS-compliant and free of harmful substances like lead, ensuring zero contamination risk to waterways and aligning with global sustainability standards.
Designed to handle extreme loads and continuous operation, our materials reduce wear, significantly extending the service life of critical components in demanding hydropower systems.
Withstanding severe environmental conditions, GGB bearings deliver consistent performance in corrosive, high-moisture environments, ensuring long-term reliability in both offshore and harsh weather settings.
GGB’s bearings and coatings exhibit negligible water absorption, maintaining precise dimensions and smooth performance under variable hydro conditions, ensuring stable operation in water-based applications.
GGB’s fiber-reinforced composite bearings are designed for the most demanding hydropower applications. Their self-lubricating properties ensure maintenance-free operation, making them ideal for refurbishment projects.
GGB’s metals and bimetal materials provide low wear rates and high load capacity for gates and slewing rings.
