Glacier Garlock Bearings is the inventor of the Glacier bush - the high performance bearing material.
DP4® is the highest performance
lead-free self-lubricating bearing material
available anywhere. It offers a combination of properties and capabilities
unmatched by any other self-lubricating bearing material and,
consequently, has the broadest application range.
DP4 bearings combine the advantages of many conventionally lubricated,
metallic plain bearings — particularly high load capacity and dimensional
rigidity — with the design freedoms of self-lubricating materials,
including the ability to operate successfully well beyond the scope of
conventional lubricants.
Why choose DP4?
In conventional telfon/lead glacier bushes, the self-lubricating
properties decreases as the lubricants flushes out the coating. On the
other hand, the
DP4
material was developed for high duty, oil lubricated, hydraulic
applications.
Wide Range of Sizes
The
DP4
material is available in standard-size bearings from 3/4" to 5" ID,
including specified standard or special lengths up to 16''.
Metric size bearings are also available in standard sizes from 2 to 115
mm.
Both materials are also available as flanged bearings, washers, and wear strips. Bronze-backed bearings are also available.
Other sizes and configurations are available by request. For a list of standard sizes please click on the following link: DP4
(For information on imperial sizes please contact us.)
Wide Application Range
Laboratory and field testing have indicated that both bearing types provide outstanding performance in a variety of dry or lubricated bearing applications and are ideal for many 'tough' bearing applications. These include automotive suspension McPherson struts and shock absorbers, hydraulic cylinders, gear pumps and motors, and axial and radial piston pumps and motors. It is also suitable for use with non-lubricating fluids and in light duty unlubricated applications.
