What is a D-glide Bearing?
D-glide is an advanced, self-lubricating composite bearing material specifically developed for harsh environments. D-glide was made to work under extreme conditions in which conventional bearings would generally fail. Offshore engineering and project development experts Aker Kvaerner became early adopters of D-glide bearings because of their outstanding load capacity, corrosion resistance, and long cycle life.
Features and Advantages
Maintenance-Free Operation
D-glide bearings do not need lubrication, thus being best suited for use in remote or inaccessible locations where maintenance is a challenge.
Corrosion Resistance
Ideally suited for use in marine and offshore environments, these bearings withstand corrosion due to seawater, chemicals, and severe environmental conditions.
High Load Capacity
They can carry high static and dynamic loads, which is vital in lifting gear, cranes, and hydraulic structures.
Low Friction & Wear
With extremely low friction coefficients, D-glide bearings minimize wear and tear on supporting components, adding to the longevity of whole systems.
Environment Friendly
Their self-lubricating mechanism excludes greases or oils, stopping possible environmental contamination.
Variable Design Options
D-glide bearings come in varying dimensions and types, fitting well in common and highly technical uses.
Industry-Wide Uses
Marine & Offshore
Widely employed in rudder bearings, winches, mooring systems, and underwater joints that are constantly exposed to saltwater.
Hydropower Plants:
Most suitable for applications in sluice gates, turbines, and water control systems, owing to their long life and water-resistance.
Industrial Machinery:
Heavy machinery such as presses, cranes, and revolving arms are augmented by their shock absorbing and low-wear characteristics.
Civil Engineering Projects:
Employed in bearings of bridges, support joints, and other load-carrying structures that need low-maintenance and long-life solutions.
Why Use Aker Kvaerner Specified D-glide Bearings?
Aker Kvaerner has a reputation for using sound engineering practice in offshore and industrial conditions. Their use of D-glide bearings reflects their dedication to reliability and safety. The bearings are thoroughly tested and proven to withstand the most severe operating conditions over extended periods with minimal downtime and lower total cost of ownership.
