Solid Polymer Thermoplastic materials processed by injection moulding. These engineering polymers include polyamid-based EP™, polyoxymethylene-based EP12™, polybutyleneterephthalate-based EP22™, polyphenylensulfide-based EP43™ and EP44™, polyetheretherketone-based EP63™ and EP64™, and polyamidimid-based EP73™ and EP79™. EP™ is available in standard cylindrical and flanged bearings, as well as special dimensions and shapes. EP22™, EP43™ and EP63™ are available as semi-finished parts. All of the other EP materials are available by special order. Also offered are POM- or acetal-based Glacetal KA™ and Multilube® engineering thermoplastics. Fibre-Reinforced Plastic Composite Materials Various fibre-reinforced thermosetting plastic bearings, including high-performance, filament-wound products such as GAR-FIL®, GAR-MAX®, High Strength GAR-MAX®, deva.tex®. Bimetallic Materials VSuitable for use in multiple operating conditions, these materials are made in a variety of alloys, such as Aluminum-Tin, Aluminum-Silicon, Sintered Copper alloy and Steel-Leadbronze compounds. Products include SY™ and SP™ bearings and are appropriate for oiled and greased applications. Monometallic Materials A range of oil-impregnated sintered bronze and solid bronze bearings. Products include sintered bronze (similar to Sint A50) and solid bronze (LB9-Machined Bronze, Turned Solid Bronze/ISO4379, MBZ-B09™, LD™, LDD™). Other Products Additional product families to complement the above GGB product portfolio, e.g. specialized housings and assemblies, bi-metallic bearings. Nylon based. Composit Material: PBT+PTFE Injection moulded polyoxymethylene based and modified bearing material. Colour: White. Uses:- Industrial, Home Appliances, furniture, office equipment, sports equipment. Generally applicable within the limits of the material.properties.                               Nylon based. Composit Material: PPS+PTFE+Aramid Injection moulded reinforced polyphenylensulfid based and modified bearing material. Good chemical and hydrolysis resistance Very low friction, optimised for dry running conditions                  Nylon based. Composit Material: Peek+PTFE+Aramid Injection moulded reinforced polyphenylensulfid based and modified bearing material. Good chemical and hydrolysis resistance Excellent in lubricated applications                       Sintered Bronze (similar to A50) And SOLID BRONZE types. Maintenance-free bearing for general engineering applications Optimum performance under relatively light loads and high speeds Produced by powder metallurgy process and therefore suitable for complex shapes Wide range of parts available from stock                     Nylon Based. Composit Material: PAI+Graphite+PTFE Injection moulded polyamidimid based and modified bearing material. Irreversible cross-linked by thermal treatment High temperature material with low thermal expansion for demanding components. High viscosity and mechanical strength Good chemical resistance High wear resistance in oscillating movements         SPECIAL FORMS Injection moulded thermoplastic bearing materials in non-standard forms, materials or tolerances Increased application possibilities with typical of solid plastic bearings, i.e. low weight, corrosion resistance, damping properties, etc. Manufactured by precision injection moulding Versatility in design, with integration of additional functions through complex geometries, i.e. snap-lock mounting, spherical bearings, grease/oil grooves, etc. Injection moulding to precise tolerances possible Automotive: MULTITUBE® Low friction coefficient Optimum performance under light-duty conditions Injection moulded dry bearing material         GAR-FIL®, GAR-MAX®, High Strength GAR-MAX®, MLG™, HPM™, HPF™, MEGALIFE®XT, deva.tex®® This range of products typically consists of a filament-wound, fiberglass-impregnated, epoxy backing with a variety of low-friction wear-resistant bearing linings. The reinforced composite structure associated with GAR-MAX®, GAR-FIL™, High Strength GAR-MAX®, MEGALIFE®XT and deva.tex® enables the bearing to support high static and dynamic loads. Furthermore, the inert nature of the materials makes these products ideal for corrosive environments such as seawater and acidic environments. The environmentally friendly HPM™ and HPF™ were both specifically developed for hydropower applications, have a high load capacity, excellent shock and edge loading capacity, excellent corrosion resistance, and are dimensionally stable. These products are available as bushes, plates, bearing segments and special forms depending on the particular material type.                         DEVA® BI-METAL BEARINGS                         BEARING HOUSIN
