GGB GAR-MAX® Filament Wound Self Lubricating Bearings GM3034

GAR-MAXr Filament Wound Self Lubricating Bearings, specifically part number GM3034, are designed for high-load applications in various industrial settings, including steering linkages, hydraulic cylinder pivots, and heavy machinery. 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, making them suitable for demanding environments. They also demonstrate 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 consider these bearings for applications requiring reliable performance under high loads and challenging conditions, particularly where traditional greased bronze bearings may be replaced.
