Glyco advanced engine bearing technologies withstand heavy loads and cope with the increasingly challenging conditions of modern, environmentally-friendly engines. Glyco is the world’s largest manufacturer of OE-quality bearings. Every year, our engine bearings are fitted on more than 10 million engines around the world – from small bore engines to heavy-duty commercial vehicles and stationary engines. Driven by the need to reduce CO2 emissions, today’s engines extract more power from less fuel. Due to the increased temperature and load, conventional bearings struggle to cope. Thanks to over 100 years of innovation, Glyco provides bearings with advanced metallurgy that can withstand these challenges. Federal-Mogul invented Glyco Sputter Bearings with twice the service life of conventional bearings. Glyco developed G-188, the first intelligent bearing material, and were also first to launch a full lead-free material portfolio. Recent innovations include the highly durable Glyco IROX bearing shells, which address the challenges of hybrid, stop-start and downsized engines.

Product Features:

• Original Equipment Quality
• Excellent wear resistance
• Low propensity to seize
• Reduction in Friction

Clevite is the number one name in replacement engine bearings – delivering on the track and in machine shops around the country. With track proven performance in engines with thousands of horsepower, it is obvious Clevite has the strength to handle any light vehicle application.As more and more OE manufacturers shift to aluminum bearings in OE engines, Clevite has introduced a new line of engine bearings designed to be the highest quality replacement bearings in the industry. Clevite Bimetal engine bearings carry on the tradition and reputation that Clevite has built throughout the course of time.Clevite Bimetal engine bearings feature a 100% lead free aluminum silicon bi-metal material, which includes 60% more silicon than the leading competitor’s bi-metal material for better conditioning of journal surfaces. These Bimetal bearings also offer greater wear resistance than the leading competitor’s bi-metal material, as well as greater seizure resistance. Clevite Bimetal bearings feature 100% bored ID’s for precision and surface characteristics and where appropriate – straight shell main bearings utilizing an “umbrella” groove that allows for superior oil control and improved pressure.Clevite® Bimetal engine bearings are of aluminum, tin, silicon Bimetal type of material and construction. These offer the engine rebuilder an Oe type of bearing for engines going into light duty applications. They are only recommended for applications where all engine components have been reconditioned to engine manufacturers original specifications.Bimetal engine bearings are not recommended for Heavy Duty service where heavy demands are placed on the engine or High Performance applications where Clevite TriMetal is still the ultimate performance choice.

National® has built a reputation as one of the most respected names in the industry. We have offered premium sealing solutions for more than 75 years. Our design team keeps pace with the industry and provides advanced solutions for today’s vehicles.

Product Features:

• Designed to repair damaged, grooved or worn shafts
• Durable stainless steel construction for corrosion-free sealing surface that surpasses most original shaft specifications
• Ideal for a shaft where indications of seal wear, such as tracks or grooves have developed
• Ultra-thin construction (0.01/0.25mm wall thickness) allows original seal size to be used with minimal additional lip loading
• Easy to install with removable flange and installation tool
• Installation tool reduces sleeve distortion and allows for installation without removal from the shaft

KS rod bearing sets provide maximum load-bearing capacity, anti-seize and low wear and friction. KS rod bearing sets are manufactured with aluminum-tin sliding material and the innovative aluminum-zinc-bismuth alloy in which bismuth replaces lead. From the strands continuously cast on site, strip is generated in defined and coordinated rolling and annealing operations for subsequent cladding. The various steel-aluminum composites are finally produced by roll bonding. Innovative coatings also ensure optimal running-in behavior and low-wear continuous running. The spectrum of possible surface coatings at KS Gleitlager extends from galvanic films deposited electro-chemically and sputter layers applied electro-physically in a high vacuum, to synthetic antifriction coatings.

• Original Equipment Manufacturer
• Maximum Load-Bearing Capacity
• Low Wear and Friction
• Advanced Surface Coatings
