deva.metal® is a self-lubricating bearing material manufactured by advanced powder metallurgy. It is fully compacted, unlike oil-impregnated porous bronze materials that are weak by comparison. deva.metal® is provided with an evenly distributed solid lubricant throughout its metallic matrix.

deva.metal®
- is suitable for dry running at slow sliding speeds and high loads,
- is stick-slip free,
- has high resistance to temperature and corrosion,
- is insensitive to contamination and edge pressures,
- can be easily machined if required.

Reference applications
Iron and steel works, furnace construction, fans, foundry machinery, waste water cleaning plants, water-, steam- and gas-turbines, pumps and compressors, food and beverage industry machinery, packing machinery, apparatus engineering, mechanical handling equipment, etc.
 

deva.bm® is a thin-walled self-lubricating composite sliding material. It consists of a backing made of standard steel, stainless steel or bronze with a deva.metal® layer applied in a combined rolling/ sintering process.

deva.bm® offers basically the same bearing characteristics as deva.metal® but is capable of handling even higher loads and offers an economic solution to many bearing problems.

Reference applications
Water turbines, injection molding machinery, food and beverage industry machinery, packing machinery, printing machinery, apparatus engineering, shut-off valves, tire molds, etc.
 

deva.bm®/9P is a thin-walled, selflubricating composite sliding material. The sliding layer is applied to a stainless steel backing in a combined rolling/sintering process.

PTFE serves as lubricant and offers very low friction and wear rates. An optional running-in film can extend the bearing lifetime under certain operating conditions.

Reference applications
Water turbines, injection molding machinery, packing machinery, food and beverage industry machinery, printing machinery, shut- ff valves, hydro-mechanical engineering, tire molds, apparatus engineering, etc.
 

deva.glide® is a self-lubricating bearing material that consists of a high-quality bearing bronze with solid lubricant pockets. A thin film of solid lubricant aids the running-in process if required.

deva.glide® allows to replace lubricated bronze bearings with a maintenance- free alternative and
- is suitable for large dimensions,
- has a low friction coefficient,
- has a high wear resistance,
- allows a high durability.

Reference applications
Hydromechanical engineering, offshore industry, iron foundries and steel works, heavy machinery, cranes and conveyors, deep and open cast mining machinery, construction and earth-moving machinery, etc.
 

deva.tex® is a high performance selflubricating sliding material with a glass-fibre reinforced carrying layer. The machinable sliding layer consists of fibres which are embedded in epoxy resin. The resin carries PTFE as lubricant for excellent tribological performance.

deva.tex® bearings are available in standard dimensions up to 200 mm according to DIN 1850 and are characterized by a very high corrosion and wear resistance. They are insensitive to contamination as well as to vibrations and shock loads. Custom dimensions are also available due to the machinable inner and outer layer.

Reference applications
Water turbines, hydromechanical engineering, agricultural machines, earth moving equipment, railroad vehicles, shut-off valves, chemical industry, apparatus engineering, wind turbines, etc.
 

GLYCODUR® F sliding bearings consist of a 0.2 to 0.4 mm porous tin bronze layer sintered onto a copper plated steel base. The pores of this layer are filled during a rolling process with PTFE and other friction and wear reducing additives. A 5 to 30 μm top layer made of the same material forms the running-in layer.

GLYCODUR® F sliding bearings combine the mechanical properties of the sintered bronze with the sliding and lubrication properties of a PTFE mixture.The structure of this composite material results in good dimensional stability and good thermal conductivity.

Reference applications
General dry running applications, shock absorbers, hydraulics, pneumatic cylinders, medical equipment, textile machines, agricultural machinery, office applications, etc.
 

GLYCODUR® A dry sliding bearings have a copper-plated steel base and a 0.2 to 0.4 mm sintered tin bronze layer. The major characteristic of these bearings is the POM top layer on the sintered bronze.

This surface layer has a thickness of 0.3 mm and features pockets for lubricant. GLYCODUR® A bearings are insensitive to misalignment and subsequent edge load.

GLYCODUR® AB sliding bearings have a similar composition to GLYCODUR® A sliding bearings, but they have a 0.35 mm top layermade of POM. This allows final machining of the sliding surface on installed bushings by boring or turning, or in exceptional cases y rubbing, in order to eliminate possible misalignments, or to achieve small operating clearance.

Reference applications
With oil or grease lubrication such as slowly rotating gears or aligning movements.
 

deva.eco® sliding bearings are thinwalled, rolled CuSn8 parts with lubrication deposits. They can take high loads and enable compact economic bearing design solutions.

There are three basic designs:
deva.eco® 9 with rhombic shaped rolled lubrication pockets. This design is mostly used in applications where nearby construction elements, such as gears, are oil- ubricated. Likewise these bearings can be used with standard pumpable greases or lubrication pastes.

deva.eco® 8 has lubrication pockets like deva.eco® 9. These pockets are filled with solid lubricant to allow operation without additional lubrication.

If higher lubrication performance is required deva.eco®7 is better suited. This type includes punched holes as lubrication deposits and is used for applications which are frequently relubricated. Due to the shape of the lubrication deposits this type is less suitable for oil lubrication.

Reference applications
Farming equipment, hydraulic equipment, applications with heavy shock-loads such as construction machinery and handling equipment.
