FAQ

What does “GLI BM” signify in the model number?

“GLI” is a common abbreviation for “Gleitlager,” the German word for plain bearing. “BM” typically stands for Bimetal, indicating the bearing’s construction of a steel backing with a bronze sliding layer.

Are these bearings pre-lubricated or do they require initial greasing?

Bimetal bearings like these often have lubrication pockets in the sliding layer and require an initial lubrication with grease or oil upon installation. They are designed to retain lubricant for long service intervals.

What are the typical applications for a bimetal bearing like this versus a solid bronze or polymer bearing?

Bimetal bearings are excellent for high-load, moderate-speed applications where dimensional stability is crucial. They offer higher strength than polymer bearings and better heat dissipation than many solid bronze types, making them ideal for demanding industrial environments.
