GGB GAR-MAX® Filament Wound Self Lubricating Bearings GM1216

GAR-MAX® Filament Wound Self Lubricating Bearings, specifically part number GM1216, are designed for high-load applications in various industrial settings, including steering linkages, hydraulic cylinder pivots, and cranes. These bearings exhibit a maximum dynamic load capacity of 30,000 psi and a static load capacity of 20,000 psi, with an operating temperature range from -320°F to 320°F (-195°C to 160°C). The bearings are characterized by excellent shock and misalignment resistance, as well as strong contamination resistance. They provide very good friction and wear properties, with a coefficient of friction ranging from 0.05 to 0.30, depending on operating conditions. The GAR-MAX bearings are compliant with RoHS standards and are available in standard dimensions, with options for custom designs. Engineers may find these bearings suitable for applications requiring reliable performance under challenging conditions, particularly where traditional greased bronze bearings would typically be used.
