PUMP & HYDRO BEARINGS
GLIDE materials are widely used in many pumping and hydro
applications. With internal lubrication compounded into all of our materials, we have excellent dry-run capacity in vertical and turbine lift pumps. Our high temperature and abrasion resistant materials also have extraordinary success in demanding applications that can handle working temperatures over 450°F.
Our 2 different materials available for your bearing needs:
-
Glide-400 - Highly Internally Lubricated
-
Glide-616 - High Temperature Tolerance
Key Benefits of Glide-400:
-
Extends shaft life: Protects metal shafts from excessive wear.
-
High Load Capacity: GLIDE design load 4200 psi. Compressible yield strength 12700 psi.
-
Frictional Properties: Thanks to Glide-400's internal lubrication, Glide Pump Bearings can handle high speeds and loading in the mist demanding conditions.
-
Temperature Limits: Working temperature of up to 266°F. With heavier loads the maximum working temperature should be reduced to 220°F.
-
Serviceability: GLIDE-400 can be press fit, slip fit, mechanically secured or epoxied.
-
No Electrolytic Corrosion: Allows for easily serviced bushings with no damage to the housing.
-
Machinable: GLIDE-400 has no stress relief when machined.
-
Industries: Pump, Marine, Food, Industrial, Agricultural.
-
FDA and NSF 61 approved.
-
Self-lubricating: homogeneous compound has 100% lubrication throughout.
Key Benefits of Glide-616 (High Temp Material):
-
Extreme compression resistance.
-
High Working Temperature (450°F).
-
Dry-Run.
-
Works excellent with stainless shafting.
-
Custom molded shapes available.
