In many industries, complex shapes and surfaces create material challenges for engineers looking to increase performance of their systems while reducing friction and slowing wear for the long haul. The costs associated with complicated, excessive, and outdated designs can quickly add up through each stage of a project. What would it be like if there was a solution that offered optimum tribology combined with an improved surface technology? What if there was a solution suitable for both conventional plain bearings and complex geometric shapes?
In this webinar presentation, GGB''s Coatings Commercial Director, Siegfried Gsoels and Senior Applications Engineer, Jonathan O''Neal, will introduce polymer coatings as a tribological solution that answers these questions. In this webinar we will examine data supporting the advantages of using coatings as a tribological solution as well as the power of partnership when you pair plain bearings and coatings together.
In the prosthetic industry every solution is a custom fit. Like prosthetics, GGB understands working closely with customers to design the best fit solution.

With the use of self-lubricating polymers, transfer films are crucial and vital in the performance of tribo-technical designs. Nano fillers are key to improving that transfer film and the overall tribological performance of the system. In this webinar, GGB''s Applications Engineer, Giacomo Landi and GGB''s Senior Tribologist, Dr. Marco Enger will discuss how transfer films and nano fillers work on improving tribological performance.
Following the webinar, attendees will have a better understanding of transfer and sliding films and they form. Attendees will learn how to describe the micro-structural features of transfer films qualitatively, as well as learning about the development of slide-active polymer compounds/composites

As the world's technology continues to advance, the railway industry requires more heavy-duty, high-performance bearings that can withstand harsh operating and environmental conditions. Trains are more than just a mode of transportation, they're an extension of our office, our community, and carry our most precious cargo. As trains move the world, train components must go the distance, enduring harsh elements while traveling further and longer between maintenance and repairs.
To weather such conditions, engineers must consider the full assembly's components early in the design phase. Partnering with the tribological experts at GGB ensures your rail system is built to meet extreme operational demands, remain cost efficient, while providing passengers with a quiet, comfortable, and safe ride.
From field and stadium preparation, to fans enjoying the game from their couches, Tribology is everywhere. Learn how Tribology plays a role in such a frictionless event. Explore GGB''s new TriboU page to see how your applications'' performance can be maximized by Tribology.
Automatic lubrication system failure, demanding environments, noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) issues as well as high maintenance costs are major challenges for the crane industry. With GGB''s tribological plain bearings and polymer coating solutions, you can increase the productivity of your crane system, extend its service life, and reduce downtime and maintenance costs. Benefit from our self-lubricating, grease-free plain bearings, TriboShield polymer coatings and paired TriboMate coatings solutions which offer low friction and high wear resistance.
Advancing Energy Applications for a Brighter Future
As technology advances and the push for more environmentally friendly energy sources continues, the demand for greaseless tribological solutions offering maintenance-free operation increases. Solar trackers, wind turbines and hydro dams depend on reliable solutions that can withstand harsh environments and reduce downtime, while increasing the time between regular maintenance operations. GGB''s bearing and coating solutions offer specialized materials that increase wear, corrosion and even UV resistance resulting in extended service life and increased energy output.
Prosthetic manufacturers face the challenge of high costs, tight tolerances, lack of specialists and growing regulations. GGB''s bearing and coating solutions are specifically designed to meet and exceed these requirements. Experience the benefits of lightweight, improved performance through low friction and excellent wear resistance, increased durability, excellent corrosion resistance, reduced system noise and constant behavior. Prosthetic users can rely on TriboShield™ polymer coatings and TriboMate™ paired coating solutions to keep them in motion while offering excellent stability and fluid movement.
When it comes to selecting moving components for motion systems, such as bearings, one might think it''s an easy task without acknowledging how crucial this piece is. As an engineer goes through the design process, moving components are usually saved for last. However, this moving piece is one of the most crucial to the design and is better to be considered early on with the entire system''s performance in mind.
What if you consulted with these engineering experts earlier on? What would be the result of partnering with the right company early in the design and bearing selection process?
We have had the privilege of partnering with customers who come to us with their design challenges, issues and needs from the start of their design process. This allows our engineering team to conduct a full review of the system where we can vet the challenges and requirements to identify the best component for the design.
GGB has been recognized by the Viewpoint Project as an innovative company that brings unique, sustainable solutions to our customers that create a higher quality of life.

In industrial industries where crane applications are being utilized, crane design engineers must manage a multitude of unique challenges from greasing systems, to sealing issues, to managing NVH. All these challenges pose big impacts on the operations bottom line.
In this video, we review a seaport crane application where the partner needed to develop a complete system solution. The system would benefit from a grease-free solution that could withstand contact friction with no stick slip effect. Since environments where cranes are utilized tend to be dirty, the system also needed improved sealing to keep it contaminant free.
As bearings can affect other components including housing, shaft and support structures, selecting the right automotive bearing is critical for car manufacturers and suppliers.
