GGB HPM™ Filament Wound Self Lubricating Hydropower Bearings 03 HPM

The 03 HPM is a filament-wound composite bearing designed for hydropower applications, offering high load capacity, excellent shock and edge loading resistance, low friction, and superior wear life with excellent corrosion resistance and dimensional stability due to very low water absorption. It operates in temperatures from -196°C to 160°C, supports static loads up to 210 N/mm² and dynamic loads up to 140 N/mm², and has a maximum sliding speed of 0.13 m/s with a pU factor of 1.23 N/mm²·m/s. Its coefficient of friction ranges from 0.03 to 0.12, depending on conditions. The bearing performs very well under dry and water lubrication and meets RoHS compliance. It is available as standard cylindrical bushes or custom designs.
