DX(R)10 with DuraStrong technology, a new steel-backed bearing material from GGB, is designed to extend the life and reduce maintenance costs of Class 7 and Class 8 heavy-duty truck kingpins.
The new bearings are designed to function well in greased or oiled conditions with high loads, temperatures and contamination, which makes them suitable for replacing rolling-element, bimetal or bronze bearings to improve wear performance, says the company. In addition to kingpins, potential applications include piston pimps, agricultural and construction equipment, lifts and cranes, automotive oil pumps and small reciprocating bearings.
