GGB - Eine Welt von Gleitlagern

In the healthcare industry, it is crucial that components used in medical equipment meet strict regulations and demands for reliability as well as self-lubricating, corrosion-free, noise dampening and more. While meeting these demands are key, a patient’s safety and comfort are a top priority. GGB’s bushings and surface solutions meet these demands while extending service life of your hospital bed, wheelchairs, dental seating and more.

GGB is recognized as being a key supplier of DP4® and DP31 bushings to manufacturers of struts and shock absorbers. DP4® and DP31 products give exceptional performance in terms of low friction and wear resistance DTS10® offers superior performance for plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles as bearing loads have significantly increased due to the weight addition of the electric motor, electronics and battery pack For many decades, the increasing weight of passenger car vehicles has been a headache for strut and shock absorber manufacturers. The reasons behind the previous and progressive increases of car weight are multiple: Improved vehicle safety with higher car strength and addition of car crash crumple zones, braking assistance systems such as ABS and ESP, occupant protection systems such as front, side and head airbags, pyrotechnic retaining seatbelts, zenon or LED headlights and electronic suspension systems

Providing design freedom for more efficient tribological surface solutions For more than 115 years, GGB has provided solutions to reduce friction and optimize product design through innovative plain bearing technologies.
