GGB Bearing Technology (formerly Glacier Garlock Bearings) has developed a patented design for the industry’s first dual-component, double-flanged solid polymer bearings.

Called FLASH-CLICK™, the new bearings feature a special geometry for easy manual or automated installation without the need for pilot or assembly tools. Their two-piece construction facilitates installation from different directions, and by allowing bearing housing tolerances to be reduced, they reduce total system costs.

The bearings are available in all nine of GGB’s EP™ series of lightweight, corrosion-resistant solid polymer materials, which provide low friction, long wear and noiseless operation. These properties, coupled with the bearings’ innovative design, make them suitable for replacing more costly bearings in many applications, such as automotive seats and convertible tops.

FLASH-CLICK bearings can be supplied in virtually unlimited custom dimensions, pending project-related feasibility checks. They also can be supplied in multiple sections for creating longer bearings. For more information contact germany@ggbearings.com.
