GLYCO® 298

Key Features

  • Maintenance-free operation lubrication for use under severe fluid lubricated conditions
  • High pv-value
  • High wear resistance
  • High load capacity
  • Low friction
  • Rotating, oscillating and axial motion possible
  • Wide range of part design types

For some applications, e.g. shock absorbers or pumps operating with lubrication through oil or other fluids at higher load, maintenance free bearings extended service life is needed.

GLYCO® 298 is a three layer composite material. A porous tin bronze sinter structure is applied on a steel back. This layer is impregnated with a PTFE sliding material and a specific combination of fillers especially chosen to improve the performance of this material under fluid lubrication conditions.

On the top of this filled bronze structure, a 10 to 30 μm thick overlay of the same sliding material is applied, providing a smooth surface for the application. 

GLYCO® 298 sliding bearings are therefore showing low friction and improved wear resistance against flow delamination and cavitation under lubricated operation compared to other standard PTFE-based materials.

In addition, this material is providing in case of requirement for start/stop operating conditions clearly better results than conventional materials.
