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.
