HIGH PERFORMANCE
BEARINGS
FOR CRANES
THE GGB ADVANTAGE
Bearing ExpertiseGGB bearing specialists have the tribological, material
science and applications expertise to provide innovative
solutions to even your most challenging specifications and
operating conditions.
Improved bearing lifeGGB bearings provide high wear and shock loads resistance
for greater reliability and extended bearing life. In addition,
their excellent low friction properties reduce power losses for
improved equipment performance.
Maintenance-freeGGB bearings are self-lubricating, making them ideal for
applications requiring long bearing life without continuous
maintenance, as well as operating conditions with inadequate
or no lubrication.
Lower system costGGB bearings reduce shaft costs by eliminating the need
for hardening and grease paths. Their compact, one-piece
construction also provides space and weight savings, and
simplifies assembly.
EnvironmentalGreaseless, lead-free GGB bearings comply with
increasingly stringent environmental regulations,
such as the EU RoHS directive restricting the use
of hazardous materials in electrical and electronic equipment.©2013 GGB. All rights reserved. DP4™, DP4-B™, DU®and HSG™ are trademarks of GGB.

HIGH PERFORMANCE BEARINGS FOR CRANES
GGB PRODUCTSThe following products are particularly well suited for crane applications:
DX®marginally lubricated bearings for grease- or oil-lubricated applications
provide optimum performance under relatively high loads and low
speeds, and are suitable for linear, oscillating and rotating movements.
They are available prefinished or machinable in a standard range of
cylindrical bushes, thrust washers and plates. Specials can be
made to order.
HSG™ filament wound, composite bearings provide static load
capacity of up to 60,000 psi, very good friction and wear properties,
and excellent resistance to shock, misalignment, chemicals
and contamination. They are available in inch and metric sizes and
various thicknesses. Specials can be made to order.
DP4™/DP4-B™ lead-free metal-polymer bearings, alternatives to our
DU®bearings, provide exceptionally good performance in oil-lubricated,
heavy-duty hydraulic applications. They also perform well dry under
light-duty conditions, particularly intermittent operation with reciprocating
and oscillating movements. DP4-B™ has an antimagnetic, corrosion-
resistant bronze backing. The materials are available in a broad
standard range of inch and metric sizes for cylindrical and flanged
bearings, thrust washers and plates. Specials can be made to order.
They also are used in crane
shackle insulators for the marine
and off-shore oil industries. Other
applications include lock arrow
cranes and trailer cranes; scissor
lifts; cabin lifts and timber
grapples for forestry cranes; and
accessories such as cable winches
and lever blocks for hand hoists.
Manufacturers of cranes and related equipment rely on our
metal-polymer and filament wound bearings for their durability
and maintenance-free properties, which provide both superior
performance and lower cost of ownership.
Our metal-polymer bearings offer exceptionally low friction and
high wear resistance under a wide range of loads, speeds and
temperatures, with or without external lubrication. Our filament
wound bearings provide high load capabilities, good impact
resistance, low wear rate and high elasticity modulus. In
addition, they do not swell from moisture absorption, and their
inert nature makes them suitable for corrosive environments
such as seawater.
Our bearings can be found in a variety of applications, including
marine terminal equipment where they provide high load
capacity and resistance to shock, misalignment, chemicals
and contamination. Among the applications in which they are
used are port crane main arms; container crane pivots, hoists,
straddle carriers and hydraulic cylinders; and ship loader
bogies and unloader tilting points.
